I know this quote may not mean much as I do not have the exact sizes but I have just been quoted £400 for a mirror finish type on the following
Porch
Little bit under the lounge window bay
Lounge
Dining Room
Kitchen
Master Bedroom
Ensuite - with some holes to be filled from old fittings
I thought that was a really good quote what do you think

That is excellent. guessing that is just a skim over the existing ceilings? even so is a very good price, any plastering work (unless you know them) is not cheap....

i thought so. The guy lives next door to my mum so he has given me a good price - i.e knocked money off but I think its very cheap considering the amount of rooms

you cant simply skim over artex; make sure that he will prep the surface properly otherwise a couple of months down the line it'll crack and fall off.
If he does prep it correctly the that price isn't just a bargain its house deal of the year

It may be his trade but check - I've seen loads of qualified/experienced plasterers make a right fuck up
Essentially; Artex is plastic based so you need to ensure a good bond with the plaster; too many just skim over the artex with no surface prep. Basically just check he's going to do it the right way

He basicly needs to get rid of the high spots and pva it.....smooth ceilings are the best by far.
