DIY about £25
cheers but need someone to do it for me
And it's dimensions are....?
Seems to me to be a days work for a tradesman and his mate. Down our way you'll pay about £20 an hour average, so I would budget on (2 blokes x 8 hours @ £20/hour =) £320 + materials, say £350 (+VAT if they're registered). That's a lot of money, but I'm afraid that's the way the building industry is these days.
A day's work, which is going to be around £250 depending where you live.
Why do you want it plasterboarded? If you're hiring a plasterer, I suggest you have it properly plastered.
