Theres no way they can look top notch..

And i'm quite quick, and i would not atempt 2 rooms in a day, 1 average room i normally do on my own, and that's going some, 3 sets, plus preping and cleaning.

And i charge between £250-£300 and evan that is to cheap.

And i normally like to work wet angles, how can you push the beads on as your frist coating?
 
where do you lads mix when youre doing domestic outside or in the room ?..........i like it when you get little square bathroom, one set 100 quid :)..........then it starts pissing down outside and have to take all the kit into that little room and mix in there too :(

1 - They do look top notch.
2 - well I'm very quick, 1 room half a day = 2 rooms full day ;D
3 - you are very very expensive
4 - just push the beads into the wet mix or as you call it the frist coat ;)

I always mix in the room, plaster everywhere on the tele, the sofa, the dog ;D
 
Yeah those ones are mint spunky, or a nice £130 ceiling on a saturday morning.

If theres no furnutire in the room i will use spot and stand and mix up in the same room, never outside, try to keep the mess to one room.

If the furniture is in, or i'm just doing a ceiling i will mix up in the big groillia bucket in the same room, it works a treat for a ceiling, just chuck a bag and a half or 2 bags in there, then frist and second coat with same mix, then leave the rest to go hard in bucket, and cuts down on dirty water and cleaning time.
 
- my quality is topper notch than most, plus they've got loads of pictures going back up so most the Walls won't be seen.

lolol ive heard it all now.i will try to remember what walls have pictures on in future so i can one coat them all for 20 quid.

i dont no if you have much of your income going out on a family and morgage ect.it sounds like you dont need to earn a lot perhaps just beer money but spreads like you nisus are making it harder for me

you are a penis then
 
so what if the likes of him are pushing prices down?? its a business you earn what you want to earn if your happy doing 10 hours for £180 then so be it and if you cant get work at your own prices then you need to look at them prices or the quality/speed of your work.

and doing a room say 40 mtrs in 1 spread isnt killing yourself if you want to take it easy have a 5 cuppas a day and an hour for your dinner then so be it but dont complain when someone who actually wants to work a full day for a reasonable price gets your next job ;)


but are you taking the piss nisus it does seem cheap ;D ;D ;D

was ganna say! there is a ad in the town next door sayin rooms skimed for £80 +materials
Click to expand...

It wasn't Leicester by any chance was it where you saw that ad oasis? ;D
 
I advertise sometimes as room skimmed from £100 ,then drop the bad news once in the door,extra £5 per bead i set,extra for materials,extra for sheeting,price only based on 2x2.5 m room so its treble that price.
No one can work for £80 surerly?
