we used to do 2 and make a good living. but that was near on 7-8 years ago, but there was 4 of us so id make a small amount off the other lads, as well as what i earnt.
theres no point killing yourself and putting your body through gyp,just for a few quid more. we use to see loads of spreads that fired it on in there younger years and in there lats 40's there body is done.
but anyhow we dont touch plastering these days.
 
Three sets is all well and good on site work with a lab.

There's not a cat in hells chance on domestics mixing for yourself and cleaning up.
 
How do they get away with that I always thought all types of hoardings slower than skimming or im just a crap dryliner
 
Were on a site in Bradford for Taylor Wimpey, skim only price is absolutly crap, p/brd & skim garage ceiling and skim 3 walls £ 74.00, thats 3hrs work for two off us .We did some student flats last year for Roseville plasterers they paid £1.60 m2 they had blokes queing at the turnstilles to get on site. Things have got to get better

ive worked for Taylor wimpey about 8 year ago on a site in Blackburn, we were subbies then but the skimming rate was 3 quid and we moaned about it then. There's still money in plastering for the principal contractors, it's just all the lads working for sub 2 quid that are lining there pockets.
