    Hi all,

    Just to contribute here as it may come in useful to someone pricing about:

    Took the initiative to put insulated plasterboard in the attic. It's a pretty decent size. Did the plasterboard myself but decided to get quote in for the plastering. Not the cleanest of jobs on my part! There was roughly 30 boards to cover, 4 of which needed hung first. Had two quotes:

    1. 1,800 all in (material and labour)

    2. 900 for labour and materials my problem (sourced from builders provider for 350) - total 1,250

    550 quid in the difference - big enough I thought but very happy with work done. Shop around!

    HTH someone

    Did you tape a seal a vapour barrier inside the insulation before you put up the slabs?

    We're either of these quotes/ guys paying vat?

    Hi There - I decided not to install the vapour barrier. I am mid terraced.

    VAT - I didn't get a VAT receipt. Although rather strange as they are an established firm with good few vans on the road.
