Hello. I'm currently renovating my late 1950s dormer bungalow. I'm doing the majority of the work myself however I draw a line when it comes to plastering. Guaranteed I would get more on the floor than the walls! I've just completed stripping back to bare brick all of the old plaster/render internally. Ceilings are down and everything cleaned up. I'm not quite ready for plastering yet as got a lot of 1st fixing to do etc. My question is to try and work out the difference in cost to replastering in a similar way as it was - bonding coat/coats and skim or go for plasterboard. I know costs will vary up and down the country and from plasterer to plasterer but am keen to know a ball park % difference between the two methods?
For info, I'm in Lincolnshire and bungalow is approx 152m2 floor area with quite high ceilings (2.6 to 2.7m). Rooms are -
Front porch, hallway, lounge, kitchen/dining room, bathroom, 3 beds, 1 staircase, utility, store room and conservatory.
At a push, I will have a go at putting up ceiling boards, but that's about it.
Thanks for any replies.
