Wouldn't you have to treat the soot area first - Doesn't that stuff leech through & cause plaster to blow?
DIY might be the only way, given the size of the job. At least it's a bit hidden, so you won't have to worry about it being completely flat.

Which bits do you want plastered?
If its the red bit then diy, but it might take a while and you might have to block sand to get a pro finish.
If its all of it, I'd probably pay someone.

Plasterboard it so the soot isn't an issue
Edit. Forget it as only edging it

I replastered our fire place and made a terrible job of it. Unless you’re competent or a pro plasterer don’t even bother. Plastering is an art.

Really nice flooring.. I'm not really looking properly but I think they've already been re-plastered . And with a little care you can build the edge to a corner with powder filler (easyfil)

I would like to re plaster this fireplace arch and sides, should I just get someone in to do it or is getting the arch perfect diy-able? I'd imagine getting someone in to do it would be £150+.
