Bedroom size 3.2 M x 2.9M
This isn't DIY, so apologies if this question is not suitable for this forum.
I've asked had a quote for a bedroom to be plastered.
Some cracks to be filled, levelling/buildup required in a few places where a dado rail was removed. PVA, bonding and skim. Surface is ready to go for plastering.
I was quoted that the job would take three days - one day for buildup and PVA, another day for bonding and another for skim. Charging for three days labour.
My Dad's friend is also a plasterer (in Ireland so not available to do the job for me) and he has told me I am being robbed at that quote, and it looks like one days work to him based on video of the room.
I've had a second quote (based on description only) which also said three days. I'm waiting on a third. They are unwilling to bond and skim on the same day, though I believe this is down to the preference of the tradesman.
Does three days sound unreasonable or is the advice coming from Ireland a bit off?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Brian
