John missus wanted it left as a proper cupboard as we have a huge cupboard in the hall and that is getting made into downstairs bathroom next year so wanted this one kept...
Dave Plasterer was much cheapness, £40 per day and I bought the plaster...Guy is on the dole and does odd jobs.. Is a proper plasterer though...
