Awkward kitchen high quote

[Chaard]

Half way though a kitchen refurb and got a shock when I was quoted 2k for plastering. Now 2 walls will need battening but the room is less than 3x5. Some is awkward and some will need browning rather than boarding. Also having the ceiling overboarding.

I live in Berkshire and the walls are back to brick.

Does this seem accurate or on the steep side?

Ridiculous. Around £350 would be more like it.

Bit optimistic there joe. 4 walls and a ceiling got to be 2 to 3 days work.

Looking at your pic there are a number of issues.

Perhaps if you give more information, and general pics of the kitchen a more accurate estimate could be given.

The former chimney breast areas - what do you intend there?

Are there still flues in the brickwork?

Why the battening on 2 walls? Are there damp issues?

Will the kitchen be a shell - no apps, no units no pipework?

Looks like a lot if fluffing around to sort things out but not £2000 worth as ree said what's happening to the fire place and the ceiling area right in front of it?
