Yeap he is bringing the wall to be level, and its assumed that he is going to make good the join on the coving? (need to check that with him), apart from moving the wall to be level/ it really sticks out the join of extension, and covering the old light socket.... its just the wall?
so that does seem excessive? I was expecting about £150-300? maybe I live in a fantasy world???
Personnally i would of charged £100 +materials which would of been 1-2 bags of bonding and a bag of multi and allow for some unibond so about another £30

A realistic price for a good plasterer will be £450 - £500. Go much below that and you'll get some out of work desperado that's done a three week plastering course.
its interesting reading the quotes here, from £100 to £500 its a shame wassa don't live near you because i would have snapped his hand off for £100, i couldn't do it for that price by the time you pay for tax and petrol you wont have much left to put in your pocket, what the quote dont say is who is paying for materials? if the job is as i picture it level the wall up with bonding and skim i would be asking in the region of £200+ materials
as you can see already on here you have several oppinions on quotes you ought to get at least another quote or two before making your mind up if its a fair price or who you want to do it
Difficult to advise without seeing it & knowing how much work is involved. If it were just a question of prepping & skimming the wall then it will take around 2 hours but you will probably get charged for ½ day - £100 + materials. As the wall needs levelling, it will need an initial Bonding coat before skimming & the time it takes depends on how much faffing about is required but it should still be done in a day - £200 + materials.
I think you expectation is about right, high if it’s just a days work. Maybe your spread is bringing a mate along to mix for him which is completely unnecessary for such a small job.
