D G - DON Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Could anyone advise if the following quote is reasonable ? re-skimming a average size double bedroom excluding the ceiling would cost around £165 including materials. Could anyone do this kind of job cheaper? If so how long have you been in the trade and what experiance do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotar Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 You will not get a cheaper price than that from a qualified plasterer. By qualified I mean City and Guilds not 5 day course qualified !!!!! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Think about it. It is a days work. (it may turn out only to be half a day, but they are not exactly going to get another job done) Materials, transport, insurance, pension, tax. What's left? £25,000 a year? For skilled work?

Agent Orange Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Im looking to get some plastering done either end of this year or early next and would like someone who can offer their services for such a great price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottyb Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 That sound's pretty resonable, we're lucky in that respect as the other halfs brother is a plasterer. Is there nobody you know within your family or friends who can do this for you? We had a quote to tile our bathroom floor for £250 and managed to find a friend of the family who did this for £30!! I wanted to give him more but he wouldn't accept it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancingDave Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Sounds fair to me ! I had a few quotes for doing my dining room, one clown wanted £ 750.00 -got it all done including the ceiling for £ 240.00 Your price sounds fair, why not offer to pay the geezer in cash, he might knock you a bit more off !
