Hi
I've just received a quote for some internal lime plastering on our old farmhouse, to replace the blown cement based plaster with a 3 coat lime plaster instead to allow the solid walls of our property to breathe again.
Plaster specification
2 x haired scratch coats using 3-1 sharp sand with hydraulic lime and then 1 coat of finish plaster using 1-1 silvers and and lime putty @£50/m2
This price is excluding any hacking off of old plaster which has just been quoted for at a flat day rate so will vary depending on how easy the existing stuff comes off.
I just wondered if this £50/m2 seemed a reasonable quote? I've really struggled to find a decent heritage tradesman, some haven't turned up, some never replied, some came and looked then never got back to me.
This one seems decent but with nothing else to go one i'd just appreciate some feedback as we're looking at several thousand pounds worth of plastering
Cheers
