    Ain't being funny but ain't surprised you ain't got it. 400 for a box room border line ripping off if u ask me. It's an easy day 130 for the day plus mats at what 40 tops. I'd sooner be pricing at that and getting work than pricing too high and not getting it.

    re plastering after damp proofing

    I meant give the wall a Coat of renovating plaster then dab a board onto tht once dry. To be fair tho cost of the job is going up with the price of lime lite so don't think my birds mam will wanna fork out for the insulated plasterboard anyways.
