Hello all.
We are planning on having our lovely artexed ceilings skimmed and have had several quotes. Most quotes come in at just over £1000 and this is for a small 4 bed home.
One quote came in at £500 which seems very low, are we best to avoid such a low quote seeing as it is over half the price 3 other people have quoted us?
We also hear different things from each plasterer. 2 use thistlebond-it, 2 use PVA glue as a bond. Some recommend scraping the ceilings but the one with the cheap quote would plaster straight over.
We don't have many jobs done for us because of problems in the past, but neither of us can plaster very well, so this has to be done by a professional.
Any help or guidance would be so very appreciated, we just don't know who to trust, especially given each person has their own way of doing things, which may or may not be right or wrong.
Thank you in advance.
