no mate, but charging 600quid for what is effectivley 1 days work is ridiculous. i know there are plasterers out there working for 50 a day and its fuc.king wrong. but you can either go in at a sensible price, and get it, or go in at a silly price (which is what we should be getting but we're not at the minute) and sit at home. i know what i'd rather do.

4 of you for 2 ceilings? who are you then, d.i.y. s.o.s? lol!
 
Who really cares . Carping if it takes you that long to do it to a decent standard then do it some are faster than others . Take your time and do good job lad . And before you ask, no!!
 
on monday i moved 10 downlighters, repaired the holes and skimmed a kitchen ceiling (3.5m x 2.5m) utility ceiling (2.5m x 2m) and a wall (2.2m x 3.5m) £330, not bragging, but i've got a good name and people are prepaired to pay a premium if you come recommened.

Yeah I know I'd love to see this real world,
heard a few people from the real world come on here saying how superior they are to domestic boys ???
Some site monkeys make me laugh :D skimming on boards with nothing in the way how easy can it get :-\
I've worked on site & domestic and prefer domestic these days!
And I love it when these people from the real world say we are hiding on domestic work ha ha WTF ???
They wouldn't last 5 mins on my jobs ;D
