Hi all,
So in the process of completely refurbing my Victorian cottage and am getting quotes for plastering.
Been quite confused by what a number of difference plasters have said. The main problem being that there is a considerable damp problem in one corner of the house. Some people are saying that they would need to insulate board over the top to stop the salts coming through, others that they could chop all the old stuff off and seal it and others that they would use some sort of recovery plaster. Will all of these options be suitable?
The other problem is the massive variation in quotes we have had. There has been a couple for around the £2000 mark per room. The rooms are only about 14m2 and ceilings will need overboarded. On the other hand there was a quote for £450 per room. (we are in the east midlands)
The lower quote was from a plaster recomended to us by a plumber that did a lot of work for us and we were very happy with. Which ends of the scale to people think is most realistic.
The source of the damp problem has been rectified (guttering).
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Jimmy
