plaster skim costs for 5 rooms

fedupwithjunk

Hi, after searching the forum I cannot find any ideas about costs for skimming 5 rooms inc ceilings. ( several posts don't make it clear if the qotes include browning / board )

I have boarded all rooms and ceilings of my new extension and need them skimming. Can anyone give me any recent quotes just for skimming? Peterborough area.

Rooms add up to approx:
walls 120m2
ceilings 72m2

or could someone indicate time need to skim 5 rooms?
Thanks

Get three quotes from local plasterers. Rates vary by area. I think they charge roughly £150 per day, perhaps one room per day, just a rough guess, might be wrong.

A useful guide but its no more than a guide as inpout prices can vary considerably which affects the output.

if you have boarded the walls and ceiling it will only need multifinish bags...and skimming...so no browning needed .
london area a good plasterer , for 6-7 quid per sq m can supply materials and make good money , in 2-3 days finished .
a slow plasterer on day rate, quality may not be secure and may end up spending 2 days per room
its common a day rate plaster spend the first day ''preparing and dhen skimming the cwiling of the room then next day 2 hits to finish the walls , therefore expensive and timecosting
