Hi guys,
I've just had to remove a lathe and plaster ceiling in a bedroom before it finished falling down and hurt someone (bad leak in the roof - sigh).
I was wondering roughly how much a 4mx4m lathe and plaster ceiling (using lime) will cost. I realize it's a slightly specialist job and plasterboard would be cheaper but this place is listed and I can't see those-who-must-be-obeyed (listed building officers) going a bundle on plasterboard.
Obviously I'll do all the cleaning up and de-nailing myself but would it be cheaper if I put up the lathes myself as well?
I know I don't really want to know the answer to this but roughly how much would it be using plasterboard?
Cheers
