Cost of plastering 3 bed semi

[Pottytraining37473]

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has had any work done recently that could give me a ball park figure. I appreicate it varies depending on who you get etc.

Plastering 3 bed semi walls and ceilings

basic skirting along the bottom of walls.

fitting kitchen and bathroom ( excluding cost lf the actual kitchen and bathroom)

Maybe knocking down one one wall and adding supporting beam.

If anyone has a rough idea of any of these would be appreciated esp someone that has had work done recently( with current shortages of materials) . We are based in the Midlands.

thank you!

We've just had pretty much exactly this done! Except a four bed semi in Surrey. I'll copy and paste the email we received....

	 from attic the bottom of hallway every room will need to be stripped of wall paper. And prepared for plastering. I.e prep walls and cut and fit beads
	Remove all wood work around door and skirting areas
	Plaster from top to bottom of house to a smooth finish.
	To cut and fit new doors with handles 
	To cut and fit new skirting and architraves around house.
	To strip bathroom of tiles and old bathroom suite.
	To refit new bathroom suite and re-tile.
	To miss coat all wall and ceilings and then paint every room with 3x coats of paints.
	To undercoat and gloss all wood work including doors.
	To check house for creaky floorboards and stair case and repair
	To fit new laminate flooring in attic space.

Subtotal £15,000.00 labour
£2,000.00 materials (estimate)
Total £17.000.00

Note; these material do not include bathroom suite,tiles and adhesive.
The materials are for plaster. Doors and architrave skirting. Paint

Potential work down stairs …

Description of work to be carried out;
cut and fit steel and take down wall from front room into kitchen. Make good walls and plaster.
£2,000.00 labour

Sorry - to clarify - we are in the process of having this done. About a month into the process so far.

Your looking around 17k as the above poster stated.

I had my whole 3 bed semi skimmed in 2018 and any loose bonding repaired, it was 2k, I imagine now it would be around 2.5k.

I'm just having my bathroom done, will cost around 4.5k, that's including tiles, suite all from Victoria plum.

Kitchen, I've just been quoted 6k from Howdens, plus fitting is gonna be around 2k, with skimming them room also.

thank you thats really helpful. Just what I was looking for. Are you having any new central heating fitted?

@Pottytraining37473 we had a new boiler fitted - and some radiators are being replaced. My husband has the quote for that work so I'll ask him for details. We are getting a Nest installed as well so the plumber is doing that - together with electrician. We are hoping that we'll have a lovely house to live in eventually!

thank you that would be great.

When I moved I had a new boiler and 6 radiators fitted along with a nest (which has just died, they sent out a replacement though, pita really as I currently have no heating!) But to answer your question it cost me £2500. 2 bed bungalow. I'm in Scotland so prices may vary and it was 3 years ago. Gas fitter done it all.

There’s no point on getting just basic skirting , you might as well get nice skirting as most of the cost is labour. Don’t you want to replace the facings as well ?

What about coving if you are replastering everywhere ?

If you are going to rewire / add new sockets/ add wall or ceiling lights you need to do this first before plastering . And of course you need to remove the skirtings ( and facings if you are doing that ) first .

If your house is in such poor conditions as to need total replaster then it probably needs rewired and a new distribution board.

New kitchen and bathroom - are you changing the layout ?

Knocking down wall and putting in steelwork - that’s how long is a piece of string .

Are you putting down new flooring and if so what? Laminate or wood needs to go down before the skirting.

@IM0GEN

It is a house we are looking to buy so want to get a rough idea of cost. As far as I know it will not need rewiring.

Replaster - just skirting along bottom nothing along the top/ceiling.

Bathroom layout same kichen would need to be moved.

new flooring mostly likely
carpet. Tiles for kitchen bathroom.

sorry excuse my poor spelling and sentences! typing as my toddler is jumping on me!

I've done a renovation similar in scope to yours a year ago for £16K for labour (boarding, skimming, plastering, painting, fitting bathrooms) plus the same again for the cost of bathroom products & tiles (5K) and other work like electrics (3K), boiler (£2.5K), joinery (2K), carpets (3K), roof repair (1K).

I agree removing the wall is the most vague requirement - hard to say how difficult/expensive it is without specifics - it may even be impossible - it depends.

I expect prices have gone up after covid.
