Plastering - how much should it cost?
Hi All,
I have a couple of ceilings which I am planning to get plastered in the very near future, but I have absolutely no idea of what sort of price I should be paying. The 2 ceilings are identical and are both 3.5M square. I am not sure what condition they are in because they are both currently wallpapered, but I will be removing the wallpaper in a couple of weeks time.
Also, is this a job that could be done in a couple of days?
If anyone can offer any advice, it would be most appreciated.

Ahh............. could be either then.
No matter ........... after removing the paper, a plasterer would give it a coat or two of diluted PVA (depending on porosity).
It could easily be skimmed then with ordinary gypsum finish.
You'd probably pay more in Hemel than down here in Exeter. With a completely cleared-out room, a good plasterer could do it on his own........... one ceiling in the morning and one in the afternoon ............ that's what I would do, and I'm nowhere near fast!
Down here ............. say £180-200 plus materials ................. in Hemel, probably nearer £300 .............. more if he brings a labourer!!
