Plastering?

Options
My Uncle is a joiner and he has been helping me with parts of the house. He has a friend who is a plasterer who has been doing it for years blardy blar... He works for a company but does bits at a weekend to get a bit more money. How much do you think it would cost to plaster baisically just under half a house worth as I have had electrics all done so channels but also damp course so about a meter on ALL the walls downstairs up to a meter high and other bits too!, their are no ceilings just walls to do. Its bare brick at the moment. And my uncle recons about 3/4 days work. Its in the north west and its an average 3 bed semi

Thanks!!

    About a grand plus the cost of materials for a good plasterer for 4 days.

    I had to have my kitchen (2.4x2.1x2.4 ceiling height) and living room (5x4.8x2.8) all walls and ceilings plastered and skimmed recently and I had it done for £600 + my materials (another £200ish...) through mybuilder.com.
    hope this helps. Very messy job though! but pleased with the results...hope this helps
