This job involves stripping off the original plaster and often includes dry lining. Therefore, this job takes much longer than skimming. Prices for small, medium and large rooms cost around £500, £750 and £1,000 respectively. Old plaster will require a skip for disposal so this may increase the overall cost. Ask the plasterer if they are including skip hire in his quote. A typical fresh plastering job will last between two and four days.

Plastering a ceiling is hard work. However, using the right tools (e.g. a plasterboard lift) and a second pair of hands can make the job much easier. Plastering a small ceiling should roughly cost around £225. For medium to large rooms it should cost around £300 and £450 respectively. The time to complete the whole job can take anything from 6-12 hours for a small ceiling, 8-12 hours for a medium-sized ceiling, and 2-3 days for a large ceiling.
