What's the going rate for a decent plasterer daily rate?

Jesus christ, I wouldn't get any work charging them prices round my area, day rates/prices vary across the country massively.

The trade where prices have shot up in my area is painter decorators , I have chatted with a few and one block is now charging £400 per day.

I remember the days when you could get a painter in for 60 quid a day

Wow, what is an average day rate for an electrician then?

sensible salary for a spark is 40K.
overheads (1 man concern) about £10k
so £50k/40 = £1252. (assuming 40 productive weeks per year)
1252/40 = £31/hour. or £250/day

Gotta say , we are plasterers and electricians ( were a team ) and the day Rate is £225 a day per man, plastering is a hard graft and for a top quality job takes skill and years of practice .
The work you have sounds approximately 5-6 days work including all the prep work of walls prior to skimming and removing / re-fitting of radiators / socket faces etc.
So price maybe a couple hundred too much but this price you have been quoted is not way off what we would charge and if you have references of their work being top quality then sounds quite reasonable .
Putting right a cheap/ below par plastering job after its complete could cost you more or will make the decorators job a nightmare .
But to answer your question , electricians and plasterers prices where I am ( West Midlands ) are around the same price and rightly so.

Good luck with your work : )

About £8-£10 per square meter for skimming including all materials.
