How much does a plasterer cost?
tim.....
to re-skim her ceiling.
How much do people here think?
a) what hourly rate would you expect to pay for a small domestic plastering
job?
b) how many hours ought it take to plaster, perhaps, 30 square meters of
ceiling. (yes, it is a big room)

Plasterers generally only work in full days, around here its £180 + a day.
Is it a small domestic plastering job or a big room?

If I were doing it, I would need someone with me to mix, sheet up, clean up
and generally give me a hand with polishing etc, and I expect it would take
best part of one day - certainly no other jobs could be got to or started in
the same day.
It would require 2 bags of multi-finish, plus a good scrape (if it's
artexed) and a dose of PVA.
I charge £140 per day for me and £60 for a labourer, so about £240 sould
probably cover it, but I'm in the N of England, expect to pay more the
further south you go.
Have a look in the small ads and get a few quotes

In East Sussex/Kent, about 400-450 for a 5.5 x 3.5m room - all walls,
skimming only. That's 40 odd m2.
Maybe more because it's a ceiling, maybe less because there's no corners to
go around?...
Cheers

Yes I did forget to say where it was and you have guessed exactly right :-)

I wasn't expecting less than a day.
When I got a plasterer in to do my walls he did the whole job all on his
own.

It's one big room. Only about 10% of it needs doing, but the whole room has
some pattern finish so will probably be impossible to match.

I was recently charged £180 for a day's plastering in East london -
one guy who did his own mixing and did a fine job. Not a lot of work
though but fiddly - skimming some already undercoated walls and
undercoat and skim to both sides of a partition.

That's probably a soft day for a single person. About £120.

workwise, doing a 30m3 ceiling is similar to doing 75m3 of wall area - about
a room and half
