Plasterers

As for the OP, where do you live. Is it in city in the uk or somewhere not so populated. Me, i kind of see where hes coming from but also agree with others on here. You see, its a f**k*d up world out there and some people just have to do what they do to put bread on the table. We'd all love to charge great rates, buy big houses, 2 big cars in the drive, holiday pay and even 2 holidays a year getting fed grapes by 2 sweedish chicks or 2 big black men if thats what your into (cough cough @dantiler). Me personaly, best we can get here on the west coast is around 120-150aday. Anyone charges anymore doesnt get the work. I priced a bathroom just last week, told the women the price and she mentioned, yes that what i thought it would be because i know the days pay for tradesmen and how many days it would take. Thats what were up against. Dont get me wrong, i get the odd job where i can earn my days pay and some on top but here, people want to to work for a wage and its either that, or sit in the house.

I honestly dont know any plasterers/block layers/stone masons etc.. getting anymore that 150 aday and you either declare it or sink it but the average cash jobs are 100-120. I priced 4 jobs high in the last few weeks just to test the water. 2 where actually torturing me to get back to them, once i threw the prices in - Silence from them and not even answering my calls lol. That tells me, keep the pricing what its at and put bread on the table. As for the UK, that maybe totally different, or places here like Dublin but here in the west, i would agree with the OP. Even places like Belfast its hard to get anywhere near 200 aday. As for me personally, i can afford to live ok on a wage of 500-750 a week because i have no rent to pay because built my own house with my own money. I know where worth more but its like this, either price what everyone is or struggle.

Limit my hrs this time of year unless good bread to be made.
8-2 then enjoy the beach etc.
Have big villa to start with Venetian soon but I will crash through that as large areas good dosh and more to follow. Also bathroom to do in July high spec and good dosh .
By August the place is cooking anywhere up to 45c so won't be doing much if I can help it unless again good money in it.
That's how it is for me and I like it .
Life's far too short , live it .

You are no master of correct use of English either lol. Don't be lazy mate surely you wouldn't write an invoice out in that terminology ffs??
 
Warren you'll look back in a few years when it starts to hurt and think..... I should have charged the right amount all those years I worked for peanuts. Trust me, you carry on the way you are and you'll have f**k all to show for all the work you've done when you're a cripple in your 50's and 60's.

You get no sick pay, holidays, pension, you've got a van to buy, maintain, fuel. Tools to buy and maintain, clothes, PPE. Accountants, book keeping, time pricing jobs - evenings&weekends. There's more I've forgotten I'm sure. £600 a week! Shite!
