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

Does your street have parking restrictions? Check the council's parking information so the van can stop legally.
Will boards need carrying through the house to reach a rear room, and is there a narrow hall or stair turn?
Can waste plaster and old boards be removed the same day, or is storage space available?

Small patches often show once painted; ask whether a full skim of the wall is better value than a patch.
Check if electrics behind the wall need moving before plastering, so work isn't redone.

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.
