Finding a plasterer

Hi All
Im trying to find a plasterer and have gone down the ask friends and family route but either they weren't interested or too busy, so its yellow pages or google.
how do you hope to get a decent one, are there any questions i should ask and sites to look for them, i need my whole house plastering, would it be acceptable for me to ask them to do one room and see how it looked before going ahead with the whole job??
i dont want to trust someone on a 4k job and it turn out to be a nightmare.
any advice? thanks in advance

I just had one here, sub-contracted by my kitchen fitter and was very impressed with his plastering.

do you have any work colleagues you could ask , neighbours etc or have you had any other tradespeople do work at your house , or live near you , or doing work locally - they should be able to give you a name0

Yes its a good idea just to get one room done to make sure you are happy. Get quotes from various firms on the one room/whole house basis. Go with the firm you think are best and see how they get on.0
