Yeah you’d put 2 walls on n take a pic when wet so it looks good. It always looks minging when it starts drying especially in a bright room. You should know that.

Then it dries out. And looks ok. Then paints up perfectly because it’s flat and smooth unlike your rippley shite ya £1 fish bucker slagggggView attachment 38333View attachment 38334

You're talking like your the only person who turns up on time, looks professional, has abit of a chat with them and leaves a bang on job with no mess. I'm pretty sure most of us do that, just the rest of us don't think it's worth doubling the quote for lol

You do make me piss with all your Billy big bollox chat!

Not so long since you was on here under adcar plastering asking for advice after using bonding to fill chases on single skin external walls and didn't know why your customers were suffering with damp showing through!

Then your Billy big bollox with subbies yet don't pay there wages, also don't supply & fit materials and also not vat registered.

Unrivaled customer service I remember you quoting!

Your now saying your knocking 12k render jobs out in 2 days but yet still not vat registered!

Bullshit alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Anyway lads money isn't everything we all graft hard the only reason I always talk about low rates is because low rates don't benefit anyone...neither does working hard physically, seen so many lads who have been rushing around like headless chickens not using their brains trying to make a dollar...end up having a nasty accident or health issues...

Good point. Very good point actually.

Pikey comes in to quote stinking up the place of piss, looking shifty. £250

“Seems cheap, but this guy is gonna take 2 days? Can’t leave him alone in the house.. so 2 days off work from my computer programming £700”

So total price is £950.

Or Mr professional and very trustworthy will do it in a day, £500. And i’ll be able to leave him a key and go to work.

Total price £500
