There are plenty earning that on domestics, that's the race to the bottom. Fact
Been told plenty times over the years by customers that Jimmy will do it for that.
Jimmy is doing it as a job on the side, no overheads. Fake name. Lol

Nice mate them jobs so relaxing not on the clock
if your doing 2 bags in the morning and 2 in the afternoon ,no doubt about it thats slow .not trying to have a go mate .if i started at 8 i would be gone home at 11 with 4 bags done ,not sure if u taking the piss but if your doing 2 sets of 2 bags its time u tried something else

Get on domestics Andy,4 bags in a bedroom will give you £200.I do domestic and site if I have too.I can bang out m2s and don't care what they say on here about proper plasterers banging out on 1000m2s on site,work it out yourself mate.whether your 54 or 64 if your a decent spread and got a good reputation you should be on a good little number.
Yes get bags in water beads up tape up then t ea ,then mix up 1bag than another then dinner then the same then go home
not having a go andy im tipping 49.will do site and domestic most days i'll do 3 sets 4 bags a set mix my own gear .on ceillings i use stilts no bother getting up and down to mix .im not saying u need to do 10 or 12 bags a day but surely u can do more than 4 .if i brought a lad with me which i often do and he did 4 bags a day sorry but i would show him the door ,
Just don't want to run around like a mad man ,should not have to

Domestic work is running a business, it's not for everyone. You can be a great plasterer but not have the business skills to make good money.
One thing is for sure though if you want a couple of holidays a year, you have a couple of kids, and a mortgage (in the south, don't know about the north) and want to be putting some money aside for retirement you have to be charging between £200 - £300 a day. You won't stand a chance getting a mortgage charging £100 a day.
I've always worked hard on my business and now charge minimum £225 per day, more if I think I can get it.
For how hard we work if you are not earning 40K plus it's simply not worth it...there are easier ways to make money.
