Been site plastering for 35 yrs, just completed a house for a large contractor from Leeds
We've worked for them 5 yrs ago and completed 40 houses, we made the mistake of not asking m2 rate before we started
Finished the house today ,rang office and was told plot was with £648.00 skim only,asked what m2 rate was and they said £ 2.00 m2 , Gobsmacked
Haven't been paid yet so will name and shame when we have
 
Although you've worked for them before,you've left yourself open.I would never work until I know rates and when I'm getting paid.2m2 is ridiculous.
 
i don't think that you will win the business man of the year award !
money is reason why you go to work. the contractor must have thought that they had found a monkeys pratt !

Welcome :D
 
Never worked on site but that's absolutely disgusting!

Is there not a legal minimum for site these days? If not there should be!

I'd be going for a law change bud!

£2 is pretty dire....im not on much more @ £2.50.
many firms are still paying £2.30 in the north west.
i just skimmed a house in 7 gauges for £800.
only cupboard and small stair wall to skim in morning then start the next plot.
could of picked it up really in 6 hits.
ive got 22 flats to start in 2 weeks at £3.50.
was told 350m smaller flats 400m bigger flats.....easy money (y)
il put up pic of unit when i start.
them cuunts in leeds should be hung in public.
