Hi all, first time using this question thing,
Ive recently bought a house and the wallpaper in the living roof is really bad, im ripping it off and the walls poor behind, my mate has agreed to plaster it, hes been plastering for about 10 years, how will i know how much plaster to buy for him? its about 15ft x 10ft and about 8ft high walls, theres no major holes or anything, it just needs smoothing over so i can get it looking fresh with abit paint. Also... big question is, he says he will do it as a favour but i want to give him some money, whats the going rate for this sort of thing?

he should be able to tell you how much plaster its needs ask him how much he would charge a customer for doing the job so you know roughly how much it will cost so say he says £100 offer him about £60 or more if he flatly refuses to take money get him in a few beers.

ask him how much plaster you will need and either insist he takes some money off you or just buy him a present for doing it (id say about £60 a day)

If your mate said he would do it as a favor, let him do it. In return prepare him a lovely diner or take him out to diner. Accept the kind gesture he has offered.

sounds like skilled labor to me
$500 or $30 per hour whichever is more

It is not how much you feel that you should pay your mate, more like how much does he want to charge, after all it is his time and his skill, if it is too much say thanks but no thanks
