1950s Ex Council House: How much for a full replaster

chiny

I've recently (this year) paid £150/day plus materials (VAT inclusive prices), same quote from 2 plasterers.   Both were selected via the NextDoor local site, both passed my usual interview questions.   An average kitchen (walls & ceiling), plus part of a hall wall (say 0.5 of a kitchen wall) cost me 4 days + £150 materials, total £750.    Job quality was excellent for that money; kitchen units went in a treat.

No plasterers wanted to give fixed price plastering, "£xxx for the kitchen, mate" until they were certain what the problems were; examples, all tiles hacked off, electricians done first fix, room cleared.    The kitchen walls were 75% trashed by the pre-plastering work, the hall plaster simply fell off with the wallpaper (to plasterer's mystification).

My work was the "thread subject" of full re-plaster (much back to brick), so cost for a skim would be cheaper (same rates).    If I were assessing for a house purchase, I'd consider 50% of full re-plaster for only a full skim; but as above if electricians are let loose.
