Quote for plastering two connecting rooms

2»

Comments

  • Hello Jenny
    I am a plasterer in the North East, I work out my prices on a how long the job takes me so if it takes a day then I will charge £150 plus whatever the materials came to, I work on my own and to do an average size room takes me 2 days, thats about £325 and the rooms left immaculate so in my opinion your estimation of £700-£800 is not far off, hope this helps
  • Just got another quote for £700 from a plasterer recommended by a neighbour. Looks like we may have found our man!

    The guy who had quoted £1100 has just done work for someone we know. They paid £400 (yes £400) to get one ceiling replaced (boards taken down, reboarded, bonding & skim). The room is only about 8ft x 12ft!

  • Hi jenny, if he was taking the old ceiling down, reboarding and then skimming it, that is about right. Its got to be one of the worst jobs in plastering, taking old ceilings down, especially lath ceilings in old victorian houses.
