Good price for a plasterer?

[PiafPilaf]

We need a room skimming (walls) and boarding over the lath & plaster ceiling then skimming that too. It's about 3.5m square. I have no idea what a good price is! We've been quoted £615. Does anyone know if that sounds about right?! Finding a plasterer round here is very difficult and I'll have gone grey by the time I get three quotes! We're in the north west.

Sounds awfully steep to me. I had my whole hallway/stairs/landing (including ceiling) done for £200 - took the plasterer and his helper 1 full day and it was a flawless finish. Definitely get more quotes.

I was in the South East then (last year) but can't see why that would account for an extra £400!

The overboarding, because it is L&P, will put the price up. Otherwise it should be in the region of 2 or 3 hundred per ceiling.

Cornices and coving cost extra.

I didn't include the walls. Another 200 maybe.

How many walls are being boarded? That will bump the price up.

I have a city and guilds in plastering and don't think that sounds too bad TBH.

NW too - paid 500 for skimming walls and ceiling (no boarding over) slightly bigger room. Would say its not over the top.

Thanks. One ceiling, four walls - one has a fireplace, one has a big window, one an internal door and one a patio door and two windows. So presumably lots of fiddly bits..? We also have rounded edges where the walls meet the ceiling, and picture rails!

We paid 240 for mates rates 4 walls medium room

We are having plastering done beginning DECEMBER

£1000.00 and he said it will be a weeks work ... ESSEX

Our plasterer charges £350 per day. He is in constant demand, so I guess his rate is reasonable (expensive area of SE).

Bookmarking as we have a kitchen that may need re-plastering after we rip all the tiles off. I had no idea it could cost as much as the above.

Just paid £1500 for skimming 3 double rooms (wall and ceiling) in South London.

Dh normally charges £100 a surface..so he'd probably charge £500 for a basic room. I think that's reasonable.
