thats not entirely true is it ....... the job i am on now is all awkward angles and small cupboards and vaulted ceilings, I could skim it much faster then it can be boarded

but there are pre set percentages for difficult tasks within the pricing structure such as, ie: add 15% to standard rates to accommadate for.... etc etc. again down to the contractor to allow for it but they never do to keep the tender prices down and the lads on site just get lumbered.

contractors are getting hammerd on prices and it a knock on effect

Agreed... And this is the problem, if the rates wre good no one would be arguing who got what cos they would be happy at work.

personally on new build i think spreads and tackers/dabbers should be on the same wage, if you think about it by the time you load up all these awkward three storys blue noard every where insulate everywhere then ten other different boards around the house foam superlines on rakes and all that tosh if you think about it it takes as many man hours to board and tack as it does skim, especially with all the solid dabs they want these days and IMO skimming on site on new build is about the same skill level as tacking and dabbing just gets slapped on

i would invite you to cum and see me my work. weather i decided to take a job for a £1 a m2 or £3 new build or not i can assure its not slaped on. (you are only as gud as your last job)
