I live in a three bed ex-council semi and have stripped my living room and bedroom. The rooms only need a skim coat cos I want to paint them but can't afford those rates.

If anyone could use the extra cash, please get in touch. The job is available for immediate start.

When you say stripped them, what exactly, down to bare brick or an original plaster coating, if its the original plaster are there any holes in where you dug a bit deep with the scraper. If its down to bare brick then thats more expensive as it will need two coats. If its an original plaster surface a heavy duty lining paper should do, if you are just going to paint. I had my daughters living room reskimmed, and it was about £250, they finished the same day, and they worked bluudy hard.
