Plastering / skim ceiling quote

[Ells95]

Hi, I have been quoted £750 to skim ceilings (4m x 4m) and (3m x 3m) and remove an electric fireplace and skim the wall over. The quote includes labour and materials.

Would appreciate views on this, or if anyone could recommend a plasterer in the SW16 area. Thanks!

We're in the SE and were recently charged £200 to skim a ceiling approx 4x4 - we got two done, and the rooms were empty. I don't know whether that was a good or bad price, but he was available! 😀
If you're looking to save money, you could remove the fireplace yourself.

That sounds quite reasonable for London.

I’m amazed at these prices. We’re in Scotland and paid more than double that. There’s only a couple of plasterers in this area and they can name their price.
