Looking for good plasterer Costa del Sol

Members online

Hi. I'm looking for a plasterer for a month around January 2020. Costa del Sol, Mijas area. Sand and cement with perlite skim. Top quality required. All materials supplied. Price per m2 or dayrate. No silly prices. Please let me know. More work later for the right tradesman.
What’s silly prices??
 
So what's wrong with using the local guys? Or are their local supply and demand prices not to your liking, i.e you want a cheapo job?
 
I was there last week and the place is jam packed with Irish there must some spreads living there .or have they all gone into .IT. put add in the free Costa paper. €200per day plus board and expenses. Seems fair to me ., Some of the bars were selling San mig for 150€ a.pint
 
Interesting replies... I seem to have attracted mostly Trolls for some reason, although they exist on every forum unfortunately. I posted on this forum because I thought it was a professional forum, and did not expect the responses that I got. To humor you, the answers to your comments are below:

You heard him lads no silly prices. Take your day rate like a bitchhh . You won't be considered because although I have nothing against gays, I am looking for a heterosexual plasterer whose bitches aren't lads. :)

What’s silly prices??
Excessively more than the going rate. Eg. If you went into that smart new pub that has just opened and were charged 8 quid a pint, when you normally paid 4.50 in your own local, I bet you'd think the new pub was charging you silly prices. Down here on the Costa del Sol, most of us are just ordinary people, but there are some contractors that want to work a few hours a day and charge for 10. I just want a fair price for a fair day's work. Down here we call the silly quotes, "Marbella Prices".

Biggest red flag for me that, even worse than “we’re on a budget”
Everyone has a budget, but I didn't say that. Read the last answer!

Maybe suggest a rate per m2 or day.
I've been building for 45 years, (yes, I'm an old git) and I've never suggested a rate to any sub-contractor. That is for the sub-contractor to tell the main contractor.

Hang on be freezing in jan. On the Costa del Sol? I don't think so. :cool:It's 33C today, and whilst we have an odd nippy day in the winter, it's usually above 20C and around 10C of a night

So what's wrong with using the local guys? I'm looking for a local guy. My budget doesn't stretch to flying you and your mates down for a jolly. the guy I normally use is tied up until next March. Or are their local supply and demand prices not to your liking, i.e you want a cheapo job? Where in my post did I even suggest I wanted a cheapo job?? I'm surprised you have any work with this sarcastic manner you have?
....can you shed any light on silly spanish prices? As above.

I apologize for not explaining myself more clearly in my original post. I don't want a cheapie job. I want a good job doing at a fair price. I want someone local to the Costa del Sol, not based anywhere else. I don't care what nationality you are as long as you live on the Costa del Sol, and are reliable honest and a good plasterer.

If I get any more responses from trolls, I'll just delete my post, and find someone here or wait until March. I'm not that desperate.... What the trolls of you should consider, is that there is probably a decent plasterer or 2 here who are looking for work, and all you are achieving by your antics, is f**k**g it up for them. I've always liked to know I'm busy in the January of every year, as it gives you chance to have a decent Christmas without wondering where your next paycheck is coming from. I'd expect most of you could relate to this.
 
Tbf to the forum members above they are all very experienced well respected plasterers mate , they just see the same thing everyday , I think you’ll find a guy off forum as it is the main plastering page in the world that everyone knows

Wasnt trolling anybody!
I tagged a forum member who is based in spain to see if he had any info on what is regarded as silly pricing in spain......dont get out yer pram about it ffs :endesacuerdo:
 
Another newbie slaughtered

You’d get found out on domestics everytime mate your radar for bellends isn’t tuned in lol.

“No silly prices”

This translates to a cocky loud type. Knows everything about everything. Has 10 plasterer mates (so knows the craccckkk) but they’re all busy. He wants it doing for a price he deems not silly. Which will be cheap. He’ll also want it absolutely flawless.
