Good morning all,
Looking for advice on plastering an older property. Always believed if the house was built with lime plaster, you should continue to use lime plaster, the risk being damp issues if you use gypsum plaster.
The first room being a 16ft x 12ft bedroom. My first quote was £3100, which was a bit of a shock.
This is the first time a property I’ve lived in has had lime plaster. Is lime plaster that labour intensive by comparison to gypsum?
Edit: I’m not looking for local recommendations as I’m based in South Wales, (thanks @MJsGhost) but what’s a reasonable price for a single room, lime plastering as opposed to gypsum? I know lime plaster takes longer to dry, but I wasn’t aware of other differences that would affect the cost.
