  6. £300 me. was he polish ? ;-0
     
  7. if he is dont expect him to give you polished plastering ;)
    get an albanian ;)
     
  8. 3-4 bags of multifinish=20 pounds
    some fibre tabe 3 pounds 3-4 angle beads 4 pounds
    3-4 pounds petrol money
    all together 30 quid
    so 120 left for him... if he brings good finish then you are on the roll ;)
    if not then you will need load sanding paper


    ps; forget about 3-4 pounds for petrol money... he may aswell use the bus ;)

    I found this website where you can get quotes from loads of plasters at once. Then you could easily get 3 quotes and you would then know what a good price is. http://www.trade-wizard.co.uk

    On site a good spread commands minimum of £2.75 p/m in the midlands. But what you have to think is that despite it being a small space it probably amounts to half or a whole day that the plasterer cannot be earning more money on a bigger job so the price will reflect this.
