Both quotes sound very expensive to me - there's a big difference between plastering garden wall as opposed to internal walls.
Couple of questions - why do you want your garden walls plastered in the first place?
Would you not consider just painting them yourself with wall paint?
I had my garden walls plastered in a really rough "mediterranean style" plaster, cost a fraction of the price you would pay for perfect plastering (no skimming etc) and then just painted them myself.
Don't want to sound boastful here, but my walls were the envy of the neighbourhood! Add to that some lovely exotic shrubs, grasses and a rockery etc etc..
Wow that sounds like a massive quote for plastering in this day in age. You should be able to get a nap finish to your wall for about €26 per m2. Lets take it your wall is 12m long x 2m high and add on a bit for preliminaries. you should not pay more than €400 plus VAT per wall.
is it materials and labour
how much did it cost?

thanks for that. Yes he seems to good and I liked his approach. One question I have is that he asked me if I would like a plinth at the base of the walls ( I am going for a nap finish). Is this advisable or appropriate for garden walls?if a good tradesman sounds okay
Does anyone here have a standard cavity block painted wall in their garden. I heard it looks great when painted cream, does anyone have pictures of this?
Hi all,
I'm hoping to have Mediterranean Style Plaster put on my garden walls, but someone told me I would have to cap the top of the walls first to shelter the wall so that rain would not get behind the plaster and cause the plaster to fall off the wall.
Did everybody else cap their walls?
