Don't call myself a plasterer, but if somebody asks me if I can strip, skim and paint a room, I'll say yes and give them a quote.

How?

Maybe because of the lack of empathy with labour work???

Couldnt have said it better ^^

Let's say I stick to solely plumbing. I'll get 1 week of work a month. That's 25%. Why not spend the other 75% building my experience and skills instead of staying at home jacking off and replying to you losers ;). I can tell you if I was working plumbing 100% then I'd do it 100%. But while I've...

I'm guessing you charge for that....?

I don't disagree with you at all mate, but you're not separating cowboys from professionals. I know of several guys who've had a go at a couple of other trades and enjoyed it and were good at it.

Thanks for the replies. I've had a decorator say curtains or other fixtures are the job of the tradesman but he seems to be in the minority. I think I'll be adding it to my t&c's and letting them know as well. If they don't do it I'll charge, unless it's an old person ;) Painted the room, had...

I've always wondered, and had several different opinions on the issue, how prepared should the customer have their property?? I had a room that needed the wallpaper stripped and skimmed amongst other work in the house. The customer had 2 days to have the box room empty and ready for me to...

Hi everybody. Joined a while back but never came on the site since, thought I should say hello as I'll be more active now. 24yrs old, nvq2 qualified plumber. I've had a fascination with plastering so took a short 2 week course to see if it's for me. ******* love it (apart from the cleaning...
