I've got a bedroom, 6 meters long, 2.6 meters wide. Ceiling is 2.3 meters I want to turn it into 2 bedrooms by putting in a partition wall. The partition wall will be 2.6 meters * 2.3 meters An opening will need to be made in an existing partition wall for the new door. There are 2 ceiling light fittings in the bedroom…

Finally 2 guys from near Bournemouth came and got the job done in one day excluding skimming (took 2 guys 13 hours fairly solid work to complete the job), they were good. The price was 280 sterling.

It was complicated insofar as they had to make the door a few cm narrower, and they had to make their own door liner because B&Q didn't have the correct size....and they had to eat into some brickwork to make the door hole big enough, it was fairly full on work

I'm going to skim the plasterboard because a plasterers touch is needed to make the area above the door look neat, so might as well get it all skimmed.

They put standard loft insulation between the plasterboard which I had left over from before. To be honest, it gives very poor sound insulation, maybe it'll be better when it's skimmed

Sounds like a very reasonable price for 2 guys , well done.
