@malc
If we stick with a plasterboarded ceiling covered in plaster.
In your opinion what do you consider too large an area for one man.

i heard he was on £600 a day ,lol

As long as someone's making me money and doing a good job mate I'd pay them what they want that's the way I work with my subbies.
I try not to be like the firms that want to earn as much as they can out of someone by making them work there bollucks off for average.

My approach to a 80m2 ceiling.
1 and a bit bags stiffish caulk out all tapered edge joints then gauge a 3 bag bucket whichll first coat 50+m2 .
knock another 3 up slightly wetter speedskim the first 50m2 now scratch the other 30m2 on speedskim that.
whats left out of the 2nd bucket will almost lay the first 50m2 in knock 1 bag up speedskim what was just 2nd coated now lay the rest in which will be hanging fairly wash out then speedskim the lot.
This is obviously for a ceiling thats a sensible height and shape with straightforward access if any of these things get more difficult, either A the number of mtrs going on will come down or B the number of trowels needed will go up.

i feel tired just reading that let alone doing it

you can do a rolling set but what if the scaffolding needs to be removed within 3 hours?

Tell the cnuts to take it down behind you?
Don't use scaffold myself at anything Upto 3m high anyway.....

Floating metal, scaffolding, any more superlatives you'd like to throw into the equation? [emoji23]
