had another joker today, 2 bed semi house in a right mess. upstairs walls were straw bonded together with a lime coloured backing then skimmed.
not seen that before...
anyway, this guy wants house re-skim 2 beds, bathroom, landing, stairs, hallway, liv room, dining room & kitchen.
really bad condition cracks everywhere, plaster fallin off back to brick.
the ceillings are all ok though.
also wants me to box a few pips in maybe 5-6, and also tile splash back around sink, cooker and bath.
which again is no problem.
another plasterer turns up which is happening more and more these days and it really fooks me off, so i am talking to him in kitchen while the other plas looks upstairs he says "we was lookin at around £500.00" so i say "what for the lot" "yeah" he replies.
i give him some cards and say my goodbye's to him his wife and the other plasterer.
he rings me on my way home to ask me about tiling the bathroom.
i tell him i wont touch the job for less than £2500
i also tell him that no plasterer in their right mind would do that for £500.
sorry to go on but this is really starting to piss me off, having ppl waste my time. the other week it was an asian guy trying for more or less the same.
do these people know anything about...well anything.
rant over.
ps if the guy rings back which i doubt i will let u know whats said.
