This plastering lark must be easy then according to the telly and almost anyone can plaster their own home as long as they can patch a little.

Don't really call £90 for a couple of hours work fuk all but everyone has their own opinion of what is an acceptable wage to earn.

Gents I think some of these threads on the forum have got out of hand as I only asked what must be a relatively simple question to all of you who have the knowledge and experience to price such a small job as the one I originally posted. I would imagine most of the regular posters on this site...

Yes he is a proper spread, Arrived at 0815am and packed up at 1030am and a very good job he made of it as well. He is actually packing in his business this week as he said he hates plastering after doing it for so long and is fed up of the dust and suffering from a bad back and neck. Spunky...

That's £80 then for two hours. It will take me all day so is £150 OK as I would not be able to go to another job after! Exactly the same request I had last week, same meterage and new board and the experienced spreads on here who could do it in two hours were quoting £150 to £190 with...

Quite agree Richard. A mate of a mate is now doing it on Monday, £90 plus mats. If everything is OK with his work I have some further work for him which will keep him good for a while.

Hi Flynnman Unfortunately it looks like I will have to do it myself then if I can't get anyone more local. Thanks for the offer though.

Sorry no cat but may be able to use next doors if necessary

Hi Spunky How much are the expenses though?

Wasn't quite sure where to post this but can anyone give me some idea regarding a price to skim a recently installed bedroom plasterboard ceiling which is approx 15sq metres. The job is in Stoke on Trent and needs to be done on Friday or Saturday of this week. I may also have a living room in a...

Hi Chris, Have you had any further enquiries from your stand in the town centre or from any other forms of advertising?
