Plastering, no clue! don't want to pay more!

Options
Hi All

Just had an extension built (vv stressful) whilst they were working on an adjacent room we had the plaster knocked off and damp course injected.

The room is now back to brick (victorian house) on 2 walls up to a height of 1 metre total area that needs plastering is 5.4 m2 the quote for wet plastering (plasterboard can't be used) is £400? I live in Yorkshire.

It feels like loads, but I really have no idea, we also need it doing quite quickly to get radiator back on and plumbing (for rest of house) finished.

Any ideas?

Thanks

    That isn't all that much. How much cheaper do you expect it to be? It has to be two days labour because of what you're doing.

    Is this your builder quoting?

    The place to save money would have been working out what the true cause of the dampness and solving it, not having a DPC.
