Plastering quote (London) - is it reasonable?

[Soffit]

Hi
I've never had a small, isolated plastering job done before so I don't have a clue. 15 by 13 foot room - full plasterboarding over existing ceiling and skimming and plastering of all walls (well, around the area of only two in reality due to interconnecting room on one side and the bay window/bookshelves. £1000 ???
Thanks

Is it in between the shelves? That will be a lot more time consuming.

No - the shelves are fitted into the alcoves and full height so he is not touching that side. It is just the wall opposite the chimney breast, the bay window wall (which is mainly window) and the space around the interconnecting door

He says it is four days work - I don't know if this would cost £1000

We had 2 large Victorian rooms so high ceilings and walls and it was £2.5k in London. Took him about a week.. so your quote sounds about right

Had a small lounge skimmed, ceiling, walls, two windows and a fire place. Size 12x10ft. North West. 2 days work with 2 plasterers cost £500.

Thanks for the comparisons - it is probably reasonable but I have chickened out now due to the requirement that the room needs to be completely empty!

We just paid £400 for two walls of small 9x6 room (some skimming, some full replacement as it was back to brick), plus boarding & plastering ceiling, and fitting architrave (supplied by us). Took 1 day.
Outskirts of East London. Your quote sounds reasonable.
It will need to be empty (plastering is messy work) & you'll probably want to leave it empty while the plaster dries as you won't be able to decorate for a week or so (I couldn't be arsed with lugging everything back in and out again 😂)
We currently have all the crap from our small room piled up in our bedroom.

It's a pain in the arse job, and the house was damp while it dried but we'll worth it. Decorating was a breeze and it looks ace!!
