How much is reasonable to pay?

Hello

I have never had to deal with this before so could anyone give me an idea please.

I have someone coming to give me a price on plastering my little one's bedroom ,its about 12ft x 15ft and we are in Lancashire

I know this is a bit like 'How long is a piece of string' but I really have no idea weather it will be £50 or £500

We paid £220 for a 10ft by 10ft bedroom last summer if that's any help.

we;re paying £190 for a 13 x 13 room this week, 1 wall has an archway but another wall needs rendering first to replace old fireplace so evens it up to a 4 wall room!

Where abouts in Lancs are you?

Theres no such thing as an average room by the way so your piece of string thing is correct.

If your close enough to me I may be able to price it aswell Im not cheap but Im not dear neither.

We paid £30 a day to our plasterer but had to pick him up (couldnt drive) and supplied materials and his lunch. Mind you he did a lot of work - the entire house was replastered and it took him two days per room.
Most were just patched up (were the electricians had been) and then he skimmed over the entire room.

He was cheap and a good worker.

that is a shocking amount of money to pay anyone for a days work. I would go as far as to say its immoral, for many reasons

Damn I had one wall plastered in my living room for £150, took him about 3 hours.

Handyman, we paid what the man asked. We were not taking advantage of him!!
My husband is a builder and knows several people who charge £25-40 a day for this type of work. Being in the trade we tend to know the going rate.
