Say about a fiver for each bag of plaster and another fiver for each board. Some nails or black screws and that's about it for DIY.

Yes, yes, I know :) Some things are beyond even me though. If I promise to decorate the ceiling and the rest of the room could I get an idea of cost? Eh? Waddayasay?

Half a day to board, a day to skim (for a plasterer + labourer). Round here (Devon) maybe £350-£400.
Thank you kindly.

Only if you do it really nicely.... :-)
Going on the chaps I had doing plastering work for me in our old house I reckon about 1 1/2 days for plasterer and his mate. . GBP250- 300?
Weeeeeeeell...ok then.
That sounds better than the previous estimate of £350-£400. Tell him he's got the job, would you? ;)

Well I was very much guesstimating. He used to charge me around 300 or so plus materials for boarding a ceiling and skimming a room (but none were simple , always some patching etc. to be done, usually 2 days or so) - but he was pretty cheap as well, and it was in Leeds.
