Plasterers Quote

orchard_2

I have received quotes ranging from £2000 to £2600 to plaster a 3 bed house in Lancashire.
The job involves skimming the walls, ceilings and applying coving to all rooms.
Walls and ceiling paper already stipped and prepared (dryline/over board) by a friend. The house is empty and free of furniture and clutter.
Rooms sizes
Lounge/Dining: 6.8m x 3.1m
Kitchen: 2.9m x 2.4m
Bedroom 1: 3.6m x 3m
Bedroom 2: 3m x 3m
Bedroom 3: 2.1m x 1.8m
Hall & Landing: 1.8m x 3m

Is this a fair price for the job?

Id have said that was a bit steep going on lincolnshire prices. Here if it bwas an average size 3 bedroom house we would be paid about £900 especialy as you have done all the preperation work, and its basicly new skim work.

Yes Dryliner/plasterer but i was quoting what i would get paid for the job as a subcontractor. I still think what she has been quoted is far too high.

Thanks for your replies.. The contractors are supplying all materials i.e. coving, plaster, adhesives etc. Oh by the way I'm based in Preston.

Before I place an order I will arrange a further two quotes. I'll keep you posted. Many thanks for your advice and support.

The bathroom walls and ceiling don't need to be done as they're in good condition.
