Plastering quote - Edinburgh

Posts: 4 Newbie
I was quoted £400 today for filling and skimming three walls and the area around the bay window in my living room. It's quite a large room (42 square meters of plastering), but I have already stripped the walls and will sand them before they start work.
It's a cash job, and the guys thought that it would take them most of a weekend to do.
I'm supplying the materials on top of this price (they estimated 100kg of multifinish??).
I have no idea if this is a good deal or not - would appreciate any guidance.
Cheers

We had our whole stairs walls and ceilings done for £150 excellent job and he supplied the materials.
I think thats quite steep, get another couple of quotes before accepting that one.
Life's way too short!
