Examples to help you write your own post — not past jobs or promises of availability.

Is your home listed? Some internal work on listed buildings can need consent — check with the council first.
Is street parking permit-controlled where you live?
Are there original features (cornice, ceiling roses) that must be protected?

Matching or repairing original mouldings is specialist work; ask whether it's included or a separate trade.
Ask how dust will be contained if the rest of the house stays in use.

Is it a skim over sound plaster, or a full re-plaster with removal of old material? These are priced very differently.
Textured coatings (such as artex) may contain asbestos. They should be surveyed or tested by a competent person before anyone disturbs them, and the safe method that results should be quoted separately.
Who protects floors and removes waste, and is waste removal included?
How long before the plaster is dry enough to mist-coat and paint?

Which rooms and surfaces: walls, ceilings or both, with rough sizes in metres.
The current finish: sound but tired, cracked, blown (hollow when tapped), textured, or bare board.
Whether coving, sockets, radiators or skirting need taking off and refitting.
Photos in daylight, including any damp marks or cracks you are unsure about.
