Is the money really that bad spunky, take two rooms 3m.x 3m.x 2.4m.= 28.8m.sq. x 2= 57.6m.sq.@ £3 per m.sq. to skim that's £172.80, now any plasterer worth his salt will be able to get them done in a nice early day (I as I'm sure a lot of you can would do three rooms that size a day), so I don't think the money is that bad. Getting the work in the first place seems to be the problem for most at the moment, but if you do a good job and you only approach firms that can tell the difference between good and bad then I find that they are still happy to pay reasonable money.
