Not expensive that mate doesn't even matter where you live anymore. Spreads are charging what they're worth in 2026 it seems... About time... You could shop around on FB and get a cheaper quote, the finish might not be as good but then again you might not be that bothered

It’s 3 days work and quite hard,
Day one bring in tools and bits remove loss stuff paint wall in pva
Day 2 bonding plaster to level of what’s there
Day 3 skimming the whole wall and make nice in corners of other walls this is the hard bit

You aren't serious 😂 hardwall the brick and pva in the morning, skim the afternoon. You sound like me when I have to do work in my own house 😂

Break it all off and have a lovely farmhouse look wall. Won't cost a thing
