Skimmed, taped and beaded corners all materials supplied?
Even with the above its more than I would expect to pay. You may be able to get the price down by offering to have it ready to skim, so tape the joints and any internal corners and put up angle and stop beads.
The problem is really that it is a one day job but most plasterers work as a two man crew, so the spread (skilled plasterer) and his labourer to mix his muck and keep him supplied, is what you end up paying for.

Does £450 to skim a newly installed plasterboard ceiling seem reasonable? 3.8 x 5.8m with a skylight. I was expecting it to be a days work but looks like I'm being quoted for two.
