Or anyone with the knowledge of such things.

We would like to have a room of 25 square metres re-plastered but have had problems in the past with cow-boy workmen and overcharging. Could anyone tell me the going rate for re-plastering a room of this size please?

Oh wants to do it himself but enuff is enuff…..its like watching paint dry and I want it finished in a day not a month.

Do you just want it skimming, or the old plaster knocked off and redone, or any plaster boarding? Does the ceiling need doing too?

It depends what area you live..........can be expensive in the south.

Between £120 and £150 per day + materials

You took the words out me mouth Kitty! ;-))))))

Just skimming Jeanette.

He has knocked out and redone the old plaster etc.....he's quite good at plasterboarding but the ceiling was done a year ago and the coving put up, which makes it impossible to put up plasterboard.

We have a house in East Anglia we are trying to renovate to let out and it is taking oh forever :-)

Great minds think alike Jeanette :)))))

OH says £25 per square metre is the going rate....and we're in Yorkshire

Should have said, that includes labour and materials

OH is a plasterer... who has just gone out with his building mates! I'll ring him in a min and get an estimate.. is it just walls?

Evening Tuna! Get your OH round to Sue's and get that house finished for her will you! lol

Sue....when the plaster's dried, you get a couple of vats of wine in and we'll come and help you paint it! lol

Isnt Yorkshire Cheaper? I know Northumberland is a lot cheaper in most places......

Have to laugh.....oh has just calculated it to £625 and his comment was...........WOT! you can get a house built for that!......looks as if I may have a problem with him and the parting of money.....this is one time I am going to put me foot down though. lol

See what Tina's OH says first. My OH isn't actually a plasterer....but he's renovated plenty of houses....and I usually get the job of painting them!

Hya Kitty& Tina

Just the walls.......he did a ceiling and lovely as it is........it took him 3MONTHS.....

Twill be a long wait for the paintin party Jeanette......there are more walls and ceilings to do and me meany oh goes by what 1970s prices should be.....and that includes the booze.

Typical man then! lol

hi if its just hard wall and scim it should be 5to6 pound a square metre.or just scim it should be 3to4 pounds square metre.i now this as i am a dryliner and i do some plastering.the price is just labour not materials.paul

Thanks for that paul. any ideas how much for materials? ( roughly).



Just told Oh that no they dont do it in Tescos and no you cant get it done for £1-99.

He built a conservatory once ..had a fit at the price of a bought one.....brilliant job(eventually )......Turned out it cost him more in time and money than it would have to have got someone in...labour and materials included.....sigh!

Hi Susan, he isn't answering his phone, I'm so sorry as he would be able to give you a realistic price. I'll ask him when he gets home and mail you.

Might be worth while getting a price for jointing instead, it works out cheaper.

Stu.

I thought you were going to say you had a box of plaster from an old hobby sus lol :)))
