Plastering quote

Hi all,
I need to get some oh-so-fetching artex on my stairwell and landing walls and ceiling skimmed, I'd estimate the area to be done at between 20 and 25 sq m. I have someone coming round later to give me a first quote and, having never dealt with tradesman before (newly purchased first house), thought I would ask if anyone knew what sort of level of quote I should be looking for so I don't make a fool of myself! If anyone has any related advice on questions to ask/what to look for in a quote that would also be appreciated.
Cheers in advance!

Anywhere between 350 and 500 depending on a lot of things to be honest.
Like depth of artex, access, shape of landing, height of ceilings etc etc0 -
Thanks for that nelly, first quote was £420 and waiting to get a couple more so sounds ok from your rough estimate.0
