    Everyone I have gotten quote from said they use 9.5mm... I really don't know what to do now. In reality, how dirty does thie job really get?

    That'd be the £2.5k guys in my OP. In all fairness to them, they were the only one who, without asking, told how they intend to keep mess to the min etc. They will use 9.5mm plasterboard and 2/3 coats of multifiish platster "to a smooth paint ready finish".

    Hi, new here and would be grateful for some advice. Got a few quotes to overboard and skim or just skim some ceilings due to artex, tested all and are without asbestos. Is overboarding a better option than skimming only? I managed to have quite detailed conversations with 2 plasterers and both...
