Plastered a Kitchen and Cloakroom this weekend for a kitchen fitter i know.
Old kitchen ripped out
Kitchen and Cloaks 3.7m x 2.5
Background was very uneven and a mixture of gloss paint/old plaster and tile adhesive so required WBA.
Ceiling was L & P with 2 lots of plaster board already on so had to reboard.
Bottom 1m all round had blown and there were several chases requiring filling.
3 doors and 2 windows
So spent then following time:-
Sat
08:00-10:00-Unloading van and removing blown plaster and setting beads
10:00-13:00-Bonding blown areas,leveling up uneven areas,loosening plug sockets/switches/lights etc and applying WBA to rest.
13:15-16:15-Boarding out ceiling and preparing to plaster.
16:15-18:15-Skim ceiling
18:15-19:00- Tidy up
Sun
7:30-8:30-Tidy up bonding and PVA'd ready for skimming
8:30-11:30-1st set to walls
11:45-14:45-2nd set to walls
14:45-16:00-Re secured sockets/switches/lights,tidied up,loaded van and collected cash ;D
So 19.5 hours in total.
How long should this take a full time plasterer
btw materials were £100 and i charged £400 all in but the customer gave me £450 ;D
