Example job costs

Price from real job shapes, not blank boxes.

These are guide ranges, not fixed prices. QuoteBuild helps you turn each job into a proper itemised quote with labour, materials, margin, and site-specific risks separated.

Why this matters

A client sees a clear explanation. You see whether the quote still works once access, waste, subcontractors, and variations are included.

Cost example

Room skim

£350-£900 per room

Usually includes

Prep, PVA or bonding agent, beads where required, skim coat, and basic clean-down.

Watch out for

Bad backgrounds, high ceilings, lots of reveals, furniture, and drying delays should raise the labour allowance.

Cost example

Board and skim

£35-£65+ per m2

Usually includes

Boards, adhesive or fixings, scrim, beads, skim, and labour.

Watch out for

Uneven walls, insulation, fire/moisture board upgrades, waste, and awkward cuts change the material count.

Cost example

External render

£55-£110+ per m2

Usually includes

Prep, beads, base coat, mesh where needed, finish coat, and labour.

Watch out for

Scaffold, weather, substrate repairs, colour finish, and protection of windows/paths need separate pricing.

Common cost traps

Where plasterer quotes usually go wrong

These are the cost drivers that turn a good quote into a weak margin.

Bad substrate, beads, bag counts, and drying time are the things that push plastering jobs over the edge if they are not counted up front.

Small patch jobs still need trip time, setup, and minimum labour charges, so they are not as small as they look on paper.

A plastering quote should price by area and condition, not just by how quickly the room looks like it should take.
