If you are planning a renovation in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor, one of the first questions is: “How much does a plaster ceiling cost?”
Most contractors will not tell you until they visit your house. At YK Plaster, we believe in transparency. This guide provides the estimated market rates for plaster ceiling installation, L-Box designs, and partition walls for 2026.
Flat Plaster Ceiling: RM 3.50 – RM 6.00 per sqft
L-Box Design (Light Trough): RM 15.00 – RM 25.00 per foot run
Drywall Partition: RM 7.50 – RM 10.00 per sqft
Ceiling Repair (Minimum Trip): Starts from RM 700
The cost of installing a plaster ceiling depends on the complexity of the design. We use high-quality 9mm gypsum boards for durability.

Many homeowners are surprised by extra costs during renovation. Here is what is usually not included in the base price:
Painting: Plaster ceilings require painting after installation. Expect to pay RM 2.00 – RM 4.00 per sqft for quality emulsion paint.
Electrical Wiring: Moving or adding lighting points typically costs RM 65 – RM 120 per point.
Fan Hooks: Installing a reinforced hook for a ceiling fan costs roughly RM 200 – RM 300.
Manhole/Access Panel: Essential for accessing pipes above the ceiling (approx. RM 150 per unit).
For small jobs (like patching a hole), contractors still need to transport workers, tools, and scaffolding. Most reputable contractors in KL charge a minimum "transport & labor" fee starting from RM 700 to cover these overheads.
A Flat Ceiling covers the original concrete slab to hide wires. An L-Box is an additional layer added around the edges to hide LED light strips, creating a "hotel-style" ambiance.
