Lee woodfine Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 Hiya, Am looking into getting some prices for my house to be plastered. There is about 340m square Of float n set and 350m square of skimming on plasterboard. Anyone throw some light on the subject as to good meterage pricing for the above mentioned?

nod Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I’m a contractor and have lads working for me If you get an individual or gang They should be a little cheaper £10 all in is good While your job is quite a small job 3 days for two men to skim 5 FS They should have similar or larger jobs that you could have walk round That they are on with or just completed There is a massive difference in finishes amongst plasters Your going to be looking at the walls a ceilings for a long time after they have gone Keep a small retention Quite normal %3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee woodfine Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Thank you for your feed back nod, just not too sure on pricing. He reckoned he could do the whole thing in 10-12 days. As I would be giving them the whole house to do without any stops. Not saying you can’t trust trades but as soon as you mention it’s a self build most of them think you are minted!!!

Not so easy to find good plasters now thanks to the amount of taped and jointed plasterboard about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 We used to do 50 -50 wet and TJ Now it’s about 25% Tape and Joint There's a big of a myth about TJ being faster and cheaper The labour rates are the same Material are a little more expensive for TJ Its worth paying a little more for a company and get really good finish The my builder type guys are pretty terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
