Hello bobby, im in Bristol and prices are tighter here  :( Skim on board has been between £2.50 and 3 quid for a long time, dont seem to be changing either, rough and set can vary from between 5 and £7.  And on our own work we been charging around £4 a metre pva and skim. Day work (which wasnt invented for spreads) has been £150 a day for a few years now. I have heard through the grapevine that a big outfit in bristol been paying there men £2.30 a metre on board how they get people to work for them is a miracle but they do.

they are probably polish :(
 
I cant believe those prices :eek: Just had to get used the prices here. plus I think there is so many spreads in Bristol its got quite competitive. I think i will definatly be thinking of doing more traveling or working away if the prices are that good!!!
 
We're in Ayrshire, Scotland. we charge around £12+ per metre whether its board or reset. Some regulars get a better rate, but we try not to charge less than £10 per metre. Also charge for bonding depending on whats needing done if its a couple of small holes thats fine no charge, but if there a lot it gets charged for.
We don't do any site work as all new builds are Ames Taped up here, we don't do it as we feel its a crap finish compared to plastering. Ma mate runs a taping business and hes charging around £5 per square metre.

I was working up cheltenham last year as its on 45 mins travel for me and i was getting same rates as i quoted, it was a rough and set job and i was getting £7 a m2, and i thought that was good as we were doing 60-70 m2 a day, that works out between £420 and £490 a day between 2 of us so was good money. I have never had rates that high only ever known them that high on externals like k-rend, monocouche and sto. How much would you charge to skim a whole house? we normally do a 3 bed semi for £2100 including materials.
 
same here bod 2.50 skim and 4.50 h/set im from yate mate near bristol so ive got to go like a maddun to earn money the best ive heard of is 6 h/ set shepton mallet way
 
£12 per meter or £180 day rate in basingstoke, domestic jobs, bit less for builders, developers etc if they're regulars
 
For skimming, float and set i usually price up by the day rather than the meter.
 
Hi bobby!
I work in the east midlands (mainly private work) as a rough guide I charge around £10 per square meter this includes finish/pva and corner beads as required.
Hope this helps!
