Zombie is probably right at £150 max in South Yorkshire. I know skimmers who will feel rich at £120 a day. Even time served good lads can be got for £120 a day. But with continuous work labour only.

I do know of others who are more on the ball and supply labour And materials but want £200. They are very good though and clean.

South Yorkshire is a nice place to live but it has its bad Council Estate areas and ethnic areas like many West Yorkshire areas. Or any other UK town or City.

But housing is cheap here. You don’t need a mortgage over £100k as a first time buyer.

Harrogate and York is North Yorkshire and a different wealth altogether. Quite affluent. A bit like the borough of Hallam in Sheffield.

Well said same applies here in sunny salford
 
Same applies anywhere. But not all customers go for the cheapest on domestic!

In fact, the cheap one usually loses the job for being a cheap c**t.

Decent people think cheap=shite.

I give up.....im out....

For what its worth the 4 people i tagged below have all backed up my regional price argument.

If you can earn what you earn good luck to you but dont for 1 minute look down your nose at lads that live in other areas that are unable to earn the same that are good allround spreads.

Not looking down. Actually the opposite. I am saying that a decent spread should be earning more.

I also bet there is areas there that will pay more.

Not much. Zombie said he skims an artex ceiling living room and all the walls for £300.

I said it's too cheap.

BOOM.

What do you think, is that too cheap for a plastering god like Zombie.. we are just dogs yapping at his feet so don't you agree he deserves more than £300 for all that work?
 
I never look down my noise at any one else. I appreciate what I'm able to get on all the jobs I do or I wouldn't do it.

I probs get double most plasterers get a day around here. But my body is doubley f**k*d.

So maybe the steady 150 boys are the smartest.

I think zombie knows his stuff and is going about his own business. As we all are. I live in central Manchester so I charge accordingly round here bearing in mind what I want for any given job depending on prep, materials, area, how many flights of stairs I’m going up, if parking is a ballache etc etc etc

He certainly has a good fan base on here because since I disagreed with him I've like enemy number one lol.

I think he's full of s**t. Someone touching £300,000 in their business does not skim living rooms for £300.

What I think is he's a decent spread who works 7 days a week to make ends meet, and I respect that.
