Alright boys anyone done mono over a brick half rounded bay window? Got one coming up and just wondering how well it scratches up? Gonna be using vpi. Any advice welcome. Cheers

Aye, that's why I can skim a box room in a day

How is it ppl like me ******* rates up? 130 for a day? I'll go back on site on 2 quid a metre then shall I? Silly me

Now now, 130 for an easy days work? What's up with that? Dole money was a wind up

Having said tht I'm 26 with no kids and mortgage so thts why I can do it cheaper. + my dole money every 2 weeks ;)

Ain't being funny but ain't surprised you ain't got it. 400 for a box room border line ripping off if u ask me. It's an easy day 130 for the day plus mats at what 40 tops. I'd sooner be pricing at that and getting work than pricing too high and not getting it.

I've jus had to repair a room where someone had skimmed over wood chip. Stayed on bout 9 months until plaster started flaking off the woodchip but the wood chip remained on the wall. Over boarded the lot. Can't skim over wood chip no way. Any spread that does needs a quiet word with em self in...

Stay clear of sbr from travis if u aint got an account or owt. It's bout 50 quid with the vat. Nice 17 quid from BNq, I've used to think travis were rip off cyunts but since got a trade cash card it's a lot better priced. Still wudnt get sbr from there tho

Who cares... Go do summin with ya life

Measure up n done 330 quid in 2 days skimming an odd bit of boarding so bout 260 after tax which I was pretty pleased with but ur right won't e able to keep it up for ages ill be fooked. Gonna stick it out for few weeks. Annoying things is my fone ain't stopped ringing since bin on this dump 2...

Been well busy march,april and may then phone jus stopped ringing for 2 weeks so went on site price work for first time. Skim 2 quid m2 dab 2 quid m2 are these prices any good as never been on price? Some weeks I've been earning 700-800 on my own work now I'm busting a gut on price. Bit of a...

Use the term "plasterer" loosely tho

Mate I've got Iraqi plasterers under cutting me by half easily what I'm pricing up

I meant give the wall a Coat of renovating plaster then dab a board onto tht once dry. To be fair tho cost of the job is going up with the price of lime lite so don't think my birds mam will wanna fork out for the insulated plasterboard anyways.

Didn't need doing according to them, weren't damped when he checked em.

Tht a no no then arty? 290 all in for these, damp co who r the one of the big boys rnd my way wanted 590 + vat, it's half the loung n half the dining room in a terrace

coming tomorrow to inject so ill see what they gotta say bout it all,seemed a decent bloke. one of the walls is single skin of brick n u can feel the cold coming from it,rekon it be ok to give the wall a coat of dri-coat/renovating plaster then dab an insulated backed plasterboard onto tht?

cheers artisan, bloke sed if they do the injection and then re plaster they would use renovating plaster, ill probs use dri-coat as merchants near me sell tht. can use render but have to add waterproofer/salt inhibtor etc from what i know.

have i got to wait a certain amount of time after theyve injected before re plastering to allow the walls to dry out?

yeh they seem to be,give it a 30 year guarentee and offer a 20 year guarantee through insurance incase they go bust or summin its still covered. maybe he'll give me a spec to work to after theyve injected.

howdy, i know this has bin covered plenty but jus thort id ask anyways. my birds mam has got rising damp in her house n ive jus started hacking off rede for the damp proof company to inject. after they've bin, my plan was to clean any salts off the bricks with a brick cleaner and then patch it...

u aint alone mate,im in the same boat,done about 4 days work so far this month but luckily i aint got kids,wife or mortgage to keep up with lol. i jus keep telling myself it will pick up soon, which it will do, im jus fed up of sitting on my arse doin nowt. hope ya find summin soon mate

jus seen an advert for plumbing and heating engineer job on a day rate of 150-200 a day. yesterday i was offered rendering work on 90 a day. i know mostly they will get better rates of pay but still!! private work is different but if a builder offers me 120 a day i snap their hand off!

u got much work on round hinckley straightedge? im in broughton astley if ya know there? my work is well quiet at the minute. ive always found out the company whos building/plastering on the site and ring up n ask but never got me on site mind,always already got their own subbies in. always...

Was on a piss poor 30 a day first year apprentice went up to 40 a day second year n then 60 a day the next year even tho had finished apprenticeship n was skimming out rooms and knew bout the trade than my so called boss. Finally went on my own n money double. Tbf tho most lads get 70 a week...
