Plastering Costs - Shed

yop

Lads
Building a shed here in Mayo. Its 30ft long by 17ft wide.
Gable heights would be around 6.4m.

Its got a large garage door and a standard 900mm wide door in 1 gable and its got a window of 1.8m high and 1.2m wide in the other gable.

There is a 3rd gable which is 3.8 m wide, it doesn't jut out. It has a window 1.8m wide by 1.8m high.

I asked a lad who hasn't any work on to price it today, 2k euro cash, for outside only!

Take about a week. Now I built my own house and know enough about building, but I would appreciate if any plasterer on here or anyone with a similar size building could tell me the price they paid.

Thanks very much

Sound like a reasonable price,good plasters are usually around 15 per m²(labour &Materials) priced through openings.

Labour only Kieran. 6 days labor totalling 2k euro is well off reality.

Id say 1200 would be closer to the mark unless there are band or cornerstones that are making it a bit more pricey , and he should return the reveals on the inside for that too

Thanks Moy, actually got a quote for 1200 over weekend and then I have 4 more to come in, got a few calls about the job over the weekend so the word is out so to speak!

Thanks for your help.

1k to 1200 is plenty me thinks.

Maybe they see it as possibly 250 cash + the 190 dole + the other benefits. It mightn't seems as odd as you think.
But I wouldn't give someone a job for 50 a day, not on.

Thats why im disgusted really , im pricing work every week and i get bet by these crazy cheap day rates . I dont mind losing work to a cheaper price ,i get enough to keep ticking over . But the fact that my taxes are helping to bump up social welfare payments makes me feel that i am getting shafted on the double . Sorry about the rant but i feel better after it already

I know exactly what you mean. Its rife at the moment. Thats why the prices are so different.
If your good then you will get work at the right price. Your a plasterer are you?

I didn't give him the job for 50 a day, it was 150. I accepted his price of 300 there was no haggling, he came up with the 300 euro quote and I accepted. It was up to him to price the job and who helps him with the job. In his case he paid family members. He had done other plastering works for me.

He was the most competitive and that's who I went with.

I am . I'm lucky i've been getting work all along but i have lost out on jobs that i know lads could only be topping up their dole with .Its frustrating to say the least

Sorry Stove, wasn't having a go at you at all. Not your fault he got 3 in for 150 spots!


Thought you might be Moy, well your welcome to put a price on our shed, its Castlebar based so I suspect you might be Ballina and too far away. I have 3 more prices to come in.

Thanks

No problem:D I'm not any of the above persons. I am actually a fully qualified city and guilds NVQ level 3 plumber by trade but not working:( I put the feelers out thinking of starting my own buisiness to see if there is work in my area and quoted a job at 125 euro a day and they accepted readily and so I bought the materials only to phone them to arrange a day for the work and they said I was too expensive and had gone with someone else:rolleyes: No telephoning me to tell me, and no offer of fuel to return the materials on a 50km round trip!!

It is rather deflating so am trying to sign on!! Not too easy!! Turned down because of a residency condition.
I am appealing but it takes forever!! If I don't win we will have to sell the house here and move back to the UK.

Sorry to hear that, not easy at the moment.

I have no real plumbing in the shed I am afraid, putting in a toilet and handbasin but will do that myself

Hope you get sorted out.

Hi, I realise this is an old thread but just wondering what the plastering cost you in the end? I'm building a similar sized shed so was trying to get a ballpark figure.

Building a shed myself, as well and would be interested to hear the cost of the Plastering
Thanks

I paid over 1200 to get all the plastering done outside, but I also got the upstairs skimmed for that price. Labor only.
