How long to plaster a room

[Jim]

Hi all

In the process of re-fitting my kitchen and I've come to the conclusion that I'm going to need to get a plasterer in.

The kitchen is approx 20 x 9 foot, but because it's partly an extension it's more like 2 rooms of 10 x 9. There are areas that need making good where the plaster has come away from the breeze block,and other areas just need a skim.

New ceilings have been put up in each 'half' of the room and these will need a skim too

I know without actually seeing the kitchen this is a bit 'how long is a piece of string' but any ideas on how many days a single plasterer would need to make good the whole room.(Room is clear of all cabinets etc)

Cheers

I had a room in our house which was 20foot x 10 foot, it took him 1 day to do the ceiling and 1 wall (the 20 foot wall),

so in your case I wouldn't think it would take more than 2 days, maybe

2.5 days it there are any tricky bits

As BB says, it will take best part of a day to do the ceiling and maybe one smallish wall. Then another day and possible half to finish everything off.

Sorry also ment to ask what the going daily rate is - I'm in Surrey

The going rate varies up&down the country and know one can give you an exact figure. Suggest you phone around locally and get a few quotes would be the best option. A ball park figure would be in the region of between £80 to £100 a full wall but again this depends on the plasterer and location.

Around here (N Kent) its £160 - £200 a day.
