Hiring Plasterers & Gypsum Specialists in Malta & Gozo: What to Know

Local plasterers (kaħħala) handle both traditional sand-cement rendering over blockwork and fine multi-coat gypsum skimming ready for painting, as well as breathable hydraulic lime plasters for older limestone properties with rising damp.
Whether you want recessed LED gypsum bulkheads in a living room in Naxxar, acoustic drylining in St Julian’s, or breathable lime plastering in a Rabat townhouse, compare up to three quotes in Euros (€).
Malta Licensing & Standards Note: Moisture-resistant (green) and fire-rated (pink) gypsum boards should be used in bathrooms and kitchens.

Frequently Asked Questions: Plasterers & Gypsum Specialists in Malta
Why does plaster flake or bubble at the bottom of ground-floor limestone walls in Malta?
Globigerina limestone draws ground moisture upward by capillary action (rising damp). Sealing it with non-breathable cement or standard gypsum traps salts. Hacking back and applying a breathable macroporous lime plaster allows the wall to breathe.
Do gypsum soffit installers cut the holes for recessed downlights?
Yes, most gypsum installers will cut spotlight apertures and install access hatches if you provide the lighting layout and fixture cut-out diameter.
Should I use moisture-resistant gypsum board in Maltese bathrooms?
Yes. Green moisture-resistant gypsum boards treated with anti-mould primer prevent sagging and peeling in humid bathrooms.
Are materials included in per-square-metre gypsum quotes?
Normally yes — quotes per m² include galvanised profiles, hangers, boards, jointing tape, and filler up to a smooth sanded finish ready for painting.
