"isit just a skim or does it need boarding and skimming"
yes I think just a skim will do the trick, it is not in to bad a condition, no need for plaster board that's for sure, I have done a bit of DIY plastering in the past, but it always needs a good sanding, and I don't really want all that mess, so would be happy to pay around a £100

well I had 2 quotes, the first one I thought was a bit on the steep side for a small celling, £260 I was thinking if that's a typical price I will be plastering it myself lol, but much better quote today only £80 all in, and has got good feedback on the website, so I emailed saying I would give him the job, yippee I don't have to get covered in plaster again lol. |

I know but the website I used that post out the jobs for contractors to bid on, show he won about 10 jobs from the site and the feedback score is a 100% positive for him, so I should be ok |

I'm a plasterer n I'd charge £150 for that. Snap the bloke hand off at £80 if he's good like his feed back says! People put prices down to get jobs these days that be why he's cheap doesn't mean he's shit!  |

"to have my bathroom celling plastered, it is 8 foot by 5 and a half foot "
Day rate for a good plasterer is £150-200. half a days work plus approx £30 materials. If the ceiling is artexed it will need scraping and preparing so could take longer |

"At £80, you can afford to let him have 3 goes at getting it right and still have the price of a meal out  "
The plasterer could have as many goes as needed but would only get paid for one perfect job in my place. Minus inconvenience costs to us. |
