Hello all. My name is Dave. Been spreading roughly 13 yrs. found this fantastic site by chance. Some great advice an genuine guys here. So I'll keep this intro short an look forward to speaking with you all soon
 
Thanks .

So Where are the majority of spreads based on here? I only ask as it's been about 4 years since I was last on a site. The big work went to cheaper bigger firms an we ended up on our own. An tbh domestic work is ok but can become a bit of a ball ache.

So I was looking for someone who knows a bit about site work that's thriving an some sort of idea as to how far to travel an if it's worth it (wife-4 kids)
To work away. Or even look at it. I work mostly solo now since then the lads are doin other things an nobody wants to go back on the trowel.

I live in Liverpool but works gettin really slow.

I'm a bit out of touch on site work but loved it

Ta lads
 
Slowly it has got better last year maybe a bit more. If you are a big firm or sub for one there is loads of re-generation going on. An everywhere you turn in city centre there is k-rend going up. But there is a lot of eu workers that will work for buttons so it is hard if for example me. Been on domestic a while now an really want to get back on site but our gang is no longer a gang an the lads all never want to see a trowel again.

If you have the means then yes I would say it's a lot better than 3-4 yr ago

Alright dave, hello and welcome.
Thats very honest about the rough spreading mate.
 
Scottie5 sorry to clarify. I started out as I left school. So should of stated I've been with spreads roughly 13yrs. I ain't that old (28) so I served my time by my 20 bday. However my 4th week the lads got me off the podger. Gave me a whisk to mix, an a tiny 1sqm ceiling to skim. After that experience I was ready not to go in next day. (Humiliated) but was encouraged an got to practice every job for my time with them. Was rough to start 13 yr ago but I think my customers are happy

So anyway I like how u picked up on that, you know your own tricks best as they say .

Joke mate. Where u based? An have you been at it long?
