Room replaster/make good

(First post btw!)
I'm looking for a reasonable quote to re-plaster my small front room, so put it out to tender. I've stripped the walls of paper and have found a variety of different plastering styles; from lath and plaster, plaster board, filling, brick and plaster:
Two partition walls (270x230 and 170x230) are lath and plaster, which is cracked and crumbling in places and coming away from the wall in others.
One 'ex-fireplace' wall - you know, a recess either side - with plaster on brick. Some major crumbling and loose plaster in various places.
Then a bay-window with holes galore down the window frames.
I've had a quote of around £500 inclusive of materials to plasterboard and skim the two partition walls and make good/re-plaster the damaged recesses and windows.
I have absolutely no idea if that's a good price for what would be 2-3 days' work. Oh and I'm in North London.
Any help or pointers would be gratefully received!
Thanks
Neil

I don't think that a bad price you got there nkc, especially where your living. To dot n dab 2 walls and then skim the whole room, yep good price.0

Hello nkc

Hi and welcome. A good question to ask a plasterer these days is ' Robi wy mówicie Angielski?'Don't lie, thieve, cheat or steal. The Government do not like the competition.

I'm sorry, I don't apologise. That's just the way I am. Homer (Simpson)0
