Plastering false chimney

[gtcarling]

I`ve just finished building a false chimney similar to the others on AVF, can you guys give me an idea on how much I can expect to pay to have it plastered.

I`ll stick some photos on later, thanks for your help.

If you have boarded it your self mate base it on £6 a metre labour

that seems to be the going rate but I would make sure the plasterer is a good one first or at least get them to do it before handing over the dosh.

There seems to be a lot of 3-4 day courses these days so you can call yourself a plasterer, well from experience they`res good and bad ones and some of the good ones have been doing it for years.

Mind you so have some of the bad ones as well

Thanks for that, it`s all boarded and i`ll make sure i check before handing over the cash.

The only problem is if its only around 4m i cant see a plasterer coming out for £24. It would not be worth the fuel costs and mixing and cleaning all there gear.
