There was no plastering included in the quote. Spoke to the boss, who explained that there is a deafening layer of hardwood+ rubble/ash/dirt between lath and plaster ceiling and upstairs floorboards. His explanation was that it would be a much longer, dirtier job if they came from above, having to lift a lot of floorboards to clear it all out and repeatedly cut through to fish the cabling though.
I think that replastering sections of a ceiling is probably preferential to having to replace a load of broken floor boards, which we would quite like to have exposed.
I'm putting a lot of this down to lack of experience in what to expect with having works done. But on the other hand trying to not allow it be taken advantage of.

Many sparkies are just that and won't make good after doing any invasive work required.
What did you agree @rj ? Was making good included in the quote?
