Plastering costs

How much would it cost a plasterer to plaster my conservatory?

One wall is 12 x 7 ft and has a door and a window in it. Other three walls are little and they messure 12 x 2ft, 8 x 2ft,
8 x 2ft (with double doors)


They are brick at the moment.

So then how much do you think it will cost to get it done by a pro?


Thanks

Matt

I know a good plasterer mate, will give you his number when I see you.

Normally expect to pay about £140 per day for labour, plus materials.

Does it need dry lining first? Or are you just skimming directly onto brick?
Generally a sand and cement render or a plasterboard dry lining would go on the brick work before the skim

You could board and skim that in a day £140 would be a fair price,you supply

A bit too far for me to travel but around £150 plus materials is average.

Sorry to hijack, but on a similar vein I have a lath and plaster ceiling that has a drooping cracked area. I'd estimate that by the time you start pulling it down the area will be 1.5m x 1.5m.

Is that repairable and at what cost? really dont want to pull it all down to re-board etc. overboarding not really an option as there's an original cornice which I'd really like to keep.

Plasterboard over the top of it and then have it skimmed. Find the joists and nail through into them.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Pete I cant though if I want to keep the cornice? Im guessing the cornice would need a 'step' down of at least the thickness of the plasterboard plus skim (so what, 9mm min plasterboard, 2mm skim?) which I dont think it has.
