Board and dab gangs wanted for immediate start In crewe and Sandbach areas and throughout the northwest. New build work must have cscs card. Pm me for details.

Don't get me wrong, its good money overall, but plot for plot its s**t, that's what I mean by its high volume low margin, which means that no matter what people may think there isn't the margin on the houses to pay £3 p/m2 for tacking up here in the northwest....people on here don't...

Around the north west area the average price for new build is about £2.40 skimming similar for dabbing and boarding is about £1.80 - £2.00 per square meter. of course, you Southerners get your £3-£4 a meter for skimming but then you go and pay £5 for a pint and £1million for a terraced house...
