Just stripped wall paper and as good as he is a musician, Stevey Wonder should not plaster ..

Prices will vary loads now as some will still be on cloud cuckoo land and charge like there was no recession and others will charge cheap to get the work? If the room is that bad it may need more than just a skim??? If you work on about £300 it can't be that far off either way.

As said above it may need more than just a skim. If the walls are shot, they will need a coat of carlite bonding and then a skim. Hopefully you can get away with a coat of pva and then just skim them. You could do it in a day if it doesnt need bonding (you cant skim on bonding the same day) so £250 ish, if it needs bonding £300 ish

So you reckon you could skim over bonding in one hour? It would bubble, rip, tear be a nightmare! If you left it half a day you can get over it, but its just not as nice as the next day. 'Hardwall' you can go on the same day no problems

Found the plasterer we've used for our last few jobs from Find a Tradesman or Handyman For Any Job - For Free!
Bit like eBay for trades people, you post the job, they bid for it, and then based on feedback and so on you chose one of them to do it (you don't have to go with the lowest bid ). Very pleased with the bloke we used
And yeah £300 sounds about right provided there isn't too much repair work to be done first. Failing that if its really crumbly take it back to brick, dry line it yourself, then get someone out to skim
