I think I already know the answer to this question so perhaps I should have phrased it, I'm being ripped off but on what scale...
We've just purchased a new house, a 70's build with a face only a mother could love, but with bags of potential. One of the many items that needs sorting out is the artex ceilings throughout.
We've had a recommended plasterer come in and quote us for skimming over the artex (not removing) and is quoting us £395 per large room (roughly 5m x 3m) and £295 per small room (roughly 3m x 2.5m). We have 4 of each so looking at a total bill of almost £3k. There are 2 of the large rooms that need re-boarding so appreciate those will take more work, and cost me more, but even so this sounds like a significant cost to me. He's not said how many days it will take him.
The other point to add is we are in Surrey, close to London, so I'm fully prepared for the premium that this brings, but question is he having a laugh or is this the current going rate?
Thanks in advance.
