How much does it cost to put a plaster board on ceiling

[grovern]

I have a lathe plaster ceiling which needs to be taken down and replaced with plaster board and skimmed. The room is 12'7 X 11. How much should it cost to get it done? I guess £100 for materials but not sure about labour.

I think you may be better off posting this on the plasterers sub forum.

Better put this on the plasterers forum I think. You might be better off boarding over the existing ceiling though as pulling down old lathe and plaster ceilings makes a lot of mess.

Agreed but if over boarding it's very important that the screws are much longer to give plenty of thread and they are screwed into the joists.

Around £250 for over-boarding and skim.
