How much to plaster a kitchen 3mx3m, and with 2.5m tall wall?
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.14 PM
We have been quoted £1790 for labour and material re-plastering the kitchen. It looks expensive, how much should it normally cost please? Also they wanted to put plaster board on the ceiling as well, is this actually needed? Thanks very much you can also see my job and state of the kitchen here: http://www.mybuilder.com/myjobs/job/1352488/view#!prettyPhoto
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

That sounds very expensive, but without viewing the job it is very difficult to comment. If the walls need to be taken back to brick and re-rendered and/or bonded to make them straight/plumb and perfect then it will be more costly. I wouldn't like to offer you a price as the location of your property and condition of existing walls and extent of work will affect the price.
Re-boarding a ceiling is always advisable unless it is already near perfect as you never know if some previous cowboy has saved time and money by using minimal fixings. The last thing you want is for your nice new plaster to pull down all of the old stuff and whatever else is above the ceiling!
I hope this has helped you in some way.

Double it and you can have a new kitchen to go with your plaster.

It's hard to answer without knowing what is actually involved.
Get several quotes but I always work on £150 / day for my plasterers.
It does sound a little expensive and yes dependent on state of roof it is sometimes necessary to board it.

Depending on the size and current state of your kitchen I wouldn't be able to be precise without viewing in person.
But lets say for example its 14ft by 14 ft all four walls being plastered within 2 days for most experienced plasterers working on there own. Two men would complete in a day not including the boarding of the ceiling. Regarding the ceiling if this is wood ie cladding then it would need to be boarded in order for the plaster to take.
Taking all into account above I would say no more than £1300

Hi, if the walls are just getting a reskim and the ceiling too that seems quite expensive to me, even if they have to reboard the ceiling

Hi becky, that quote sounds far to high if they are only skimmimg the walls with a top coat...however if they need to and or taking it back to brick, cutting in new sockets removing wallpaper etc even then I still think a little high for that size room...shop around a bit more. As far as the ceiling goes, if its in a good state, not loose or cracked you dont need a new one. Regards and good luck.

I would quote somewhere around £1000 but need to look first.
