Hi All,

I'm looking for another plasterer to help me out on a job this Thursday/ Friday in Chingford, Essex.

I'm a plasterer with over 15 years experience and a growing business. So i'm looking for additional help which could lead to ongoing ad hoc work.

Please respond if you are :-

- Free on the days this week
- Have own tools
- Have means of transport to get to and from the job
- Are reliable & work to a very high standard.

Many thanks in advance!

Bradley

I know all about it. I went last week to give a mate of a mate a hand to float out a house. Well f**k me this bloke thought he was the man. He had a man at the mixer that never mixed b4. I walk in to the house everything in the way. He had no rules no wheelbarrows. I had to go back out to the van to take out all my tools. I have one of my men with me he just give me the look to say your going to go mad if we stay here. We went back in to the house. The mix come in its not to bad tbh. So I start thinking this might be ok. We get a few walls on and the mixes start going down hill. So I go out to the mixer and show the bloke how to mix it he says to me is that all the cement you are putting in I say yes that's 5-1 some time i do 6-1 depends on the sand i tell him. He says f**k my boss has me putting in double what you are putting in. I walk back in to the house to ask him why he is mixing cement at 2half to 1 or -3-1 as I walked in there he is using a 2by1 for a straight edge I just told my man to get the tools in to the van. We are driving down the road my mate says to me look what I text the lads. The text was we will be on the way back in 10 minutes. Then my man says to me the beads where put on with skim we just started laughing. But the funniest thing is that bloke thinks he is the man lol
 
2x1 ain't that when you ain't got a straight edge the size you need in a small corner to get you out of trouble only? I'm starting to go off plastering again turn up to jobs said its all ready to go walk in on the morning and I find the whole kitchen plus materials of other trades in the room then get told your still get this done today won't you,when you laugh at them they say "your a defeatist" the problem is getting worse and the more crap I seem to be dealing with lately back to the everyone knows or is a plasterer it seems

Not sure about what days I can do but I'm 10 mins from Chingford and working Chigwell for next couple of days so could pop in and give you a price if you want. Eddie 07956 359413. I only work 9 till 3 though, no breaks . Tea 2 sugars or Stella, from a Stella glass
 
The job is full of clowns like that. I had similar last week. f**k*d him off after 2 hours. Another one that thought he was the dogs b*ll***s. Could only skim and his skimming was s**t but demanded more money than I was charging on the job day rate. Clown!

If I could get the Mrs to move I would go tomo mate thing with London is there is probably triple the amount of clowns and fools you have to deal with than what you would have to deal with its nationwide but the ones in London are a special breed
 
some proper idiots about pagey had the junior site manager tell me that the drips of my bucket when taking out of the water butt would go through a ply floor down through the concrete floor through the insulation and through two sheets of 15mm soundboard into the show flat try and guess my reply

Don't know what to say Pagey, I am a bit confused. Are you getting site work with the school? I am doing a school at the moment and is ok tbh. What's too expensive? One of the earlier posts where you mentioned the prices made me thinking . I know London and prices are very variable , but still. I prefer much more site work than anything else. Price is not bad,the big walls are easy to beat and I don't waste any time with customers etc.
 
I know a fella in his early 20's whos been learning to dryline for the last 6 monthes.
Picked up how to cut and screw a board to a wall and is now flat out with 2 lads working for him.......called me this morning "can i come and dab + skim 4 town houses for him " !!

"I cant im busy mate"....i cant believe hes snowed under and cant do fuuck all !!!!

On the domestic side a bloke said I was to expensive because I was taking twice as long as he had filled the rooms up with a whole new kitchen and all the other trades work stuff was in there was a basement conversion so little space but had to work with what was there obviously it takes longer when you can't get at every Wall and have a good run at it, and as for the school work I'm on a school contractor list so as they do rooms they get the trades in that have been vetted and I do maybe a classroom every other half term or 6 week holiday the big walls are what I need at the minute cos last few builders I've done work for expect the earth with the most challenges in the way
