IME the size of room (unless we are talking big rooms) doesn't make that much difference to the price. Much of the time seems to be taken up with the corners, edges and other fiddly bits. MM has said a 2 bed bungalow, I think we can imagine the sort of place he means.
FWIW my plasterer in Leeds used to end up charging about 300 quid + materials (for just plaster not a lot GBP- 0-30?)) for boarding a ceiling, and reskiming a room (typical 3 bed 1930's semi), with a bit of patching etc. as well. He was pretty cheap though I think.
This was surprisingly cheap when we sort of looked into it (but didn't et round to going ahead) as there is/was some sort of grant system to encourage it.
sucks teeth, shakes head and comes up with a figure four times what you expected
I had a couple of 1,000 square ft factories completely plastered internally for £3,000 about 5 years ago.
No idea, but work at the Buildings Research Laboratory some years ago suggested that they are less important than generally thought. They failed to get water to rise more than an inch or two up a variety of differently constructed walls that were standing in water. Their conclusion was that rising damp is probably a bit of a myth and that people should look for other reasons if they think they have it.
I was quoted £700 for a three-bedroom two-storey house about seven years ago.
Beats me this does, we can map the human genome but we cannot say for sure if rising damp does occur !
regarding the OP's question, I paid around £1200 5 yrs ago for dpc and skimming iirc the guy charged me £100 per room for the skimming ( 1930's 3 bed semi )
Assuming you're living there can you not get a grant off your electricity provider. Getting our 3 bed 1970 semi done for 175 instead of 700 (takes em bloody ages to come out though).
Yeah, of course I do. But is it a 2 bed with high ceilings, or low? What sizes are the bedroom? Are they the size of a modern house, or the typical 1950's size? Etc. Etc. Etc.
=09I had my three-bed semi done last year, on a similar scheme, cost me=20 about =A3170 too.
=09I subsequently read somewhere that you need to get building control=20 involved before you do this, though the guys that did it - from a well=20 known company - made no mention at all about this point. The initial=20 contact was via a saleswoman in a supermarket - not that I usually stop=20 to pass the time of day with them, but I wanted to have the work done=20 anyway.
