Hello everyone. Tonights been my first time lookin at this or in fact any forum so I hope I`m doin this right.
I live in Northern Ireland and have been plastering since 1985. I`ve been out on my own since 1993 and can do any type of plastering there is. Up until 4 years ago all my work was private houses but since then works been getting harder to find and I`ve had to start subbing off a larger contractor. I`ve been lucky in that I`ve never been out of work but since the recession has hit our prices have been getting cut every 6 months to the point where I feel I may have to start looking for work in England, Scotland or Wales.
Can anyone give me an idea of what the rates are like over the water? I`d mainly be interested in external machine applied monocouche finishes, inside floating and skimming, and any sand and cement external finishes including dry dash, wet dash and decorative.
The prices we are getting over here are rubbish and I`d appreciate any help at all.Thanks
