Hey guys, im an irish man(dont hold it against me)and have been plastering for over ten years and although i have always been kept going even in recession i was thinking of moving over to england as i have a friend who is a blocklayer and he went over bout 3 months ago, he said things were booming over there( based in london) and was on good money, just wondering what kind of wage a plasterer would make and is work plentyfull over there cheers.

What part of Ireland are you in?
I believe there is a good bit over there, but you'd want to be earning plenty in London!

 

[irish_spread]

Wouldn't bother mate. Because your not established you'll have to work on site with 2 million poles and 3 million Romanians. It's not like yrs ago when you'd ring an Irish subbie and get a start. Now it's all agency's @£13 an hour if you're lucky

The North is where it's happening

 

[radford]

No money in that there London rent permits parking all the poles flying in on easy jet sleep in sleeping bags on the job with their sponge floats and fly out with their wages

Why on earth anyone would want to work/live in London is beyond me

The people trying to put a downer on London are the greedy feckers that live there, get yourself over there @macgooner @johniosaif will look after you he's a fello Irishman

If you like cities....

I don't like cities... prefer little villages... towns

 

[Plastererjonesy84]

In all fairness I live about ten miles from London and all the times I've worked in the city it's been alright, mainly tape and jointing though? I never seen or heard any jam roles being able to finish the way we do? And a lot of firms won't use them for skilled work, just labour. But I prefer to work out london and more south. Get a nose bleed when I cross the river haha

Go where you like and do what you like,only thing stopping you is you.
