Welcome to the forum. The tools that you have are more than sufficient to complete the task. Don't bother using the undercoat plaster unless there are deep hollows to fill. You're going to need more than one bag of plaster. What type of finish plaster do you have? :-)
 
Alright bud welcome.:RpS_thumbup: if you could post some pics we could advise better,is it just needing skimmed? Or is there some undercoat. needed?
Sounds like you have all the tools, trowels etc ..... do you have a pyecost?
Good luck with it

Dont you think you're better of getting a plasterer in the money you spend on tools you could pay someone to do it

Yes indeed. John Stringfellow (not Peter's brother) invented a powered aircraft in 1848, ahead of the yanks in 1903. All done here in good old Chard.
It's about the only interesting fact about Chard other than Mr Blobby lived here for a while. Lol.
