The area to be skimmed is 37sqm altogether. One plasterer has quoted £730 after viewing. Another said £800 over the phone.

Does this sound about right? I'm in Greater London btw. Cheers.

    Two guys at £150-180 each per day, one days work, and maybe £50 for the plaster.

    I'd expect £400 tops for that sort of area.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    We pay (more than) those prices in the north - I'd expect a lot more for london.
