Price plastering - if curry is using three men to put on 1000 metres in a week how is this quicker than spreading by trowel? That equates to 333.3' per week per man. Approx 66.6 metres per man per day. 66 metres in a day is an early bath in my eyes.

Bated breath even lol

Hi curry Is that 1000m a week per man? (Waiting with baited breath) Cheers G

Hi curry Is that 1000m per man.

Hi curry 1000m2 a week? Is that per man? Cheers G

Why would it need a light sand? You don't need to light sand multi or board. I've seen some of the videos mentioned and speed etc if it's a case of needing a light sand I reckon I could keep up with these guys by doing a rolling set only trowling it twice and then give it a "light sand" (Not...

Hi Bobby (still needs sanding) what's that all about then? - just trying to arm myself with the disadvantages of spraying. Cheers G

Thanks I'll check it out G

Thanks rich I suppose if I could have a go at it I could then make my own mind up over quality, durability etc. I don't think spray plastering is something I really want to get into on the whole though as I generally do private work the odd new build etc (from my reading I understand the...

Thanks smoother Do you know if there is a difference in quality of material? After scrolling through shed loads of info on the material I now understand spraying is big in Germany France etc. I do a lot of work for a polish builder and he tells me that the plaster they use when spraying is not...

Hi I've never used a spray machine and always plastered the conventional way. However I have just lost out on a huge 7 bed house as some guy has come in and said to the client that the spray finish is far superior to troweling on. I have looked all over the Internet and it appears although the...

Its thin coat - clients already bought the materials and he tells me they cost a feckin fortune - ive got all the interior to go at which will be a nice little earner so I dont want to f the render up and look like a tit.

Yeah was thinking aslong those lines and perhaps jump on with them to see what the crack is - Jobs in Worcester - know anyone around this area that dabbles with this product?

Anyone used Wetherby render system? Much different to K Rend? Got a job to price and dont know where to start - all help greatly received Regards G

St Astier NHL 3.5 and 2 and Sand from the Trditional Lime Company based in Cheltenham (As I know from this company the sand has been properly graded and properly washed).

Done lots of lime work as it happens as I live in the Cotswolds, Just not in the last few years as my company expanded and have been doing lots of hotels and suspended ceilings in the shopfitting game up and down the country. Prices change year in year out whether up or down. So reel your neck in!

As you say great place, its stopping me from going other places in the world to be honest. Last time I went fishing out there I caught a sea snake pink and yellow and feckin highly venomous. The I****n chap still took the hook from it though as he said they were expensive (crazy Fool)

Tit

Cheers lads, I think I'll try him at £50 a metre then.

Palolem Bangalore and Kerala. Can't f'in wait. Go every year for 4 - 6 weeks

No Scaff no protection for woodwork needed blah blah blah just straight forward onto red brick so labour only. Got hoards of hessian as well. Was thinking £50 a square or does this sound a bit heavy?

Hi Chaps, Just wondering what you lads are charging for External Lime rendering per sqaure metre? Got approx 3oo sqaure to do in the spring when I'm back from India. Any input appreciated. G

Quite simply YES University degree Law fresh out - would you want them to defend you in a murder trial? Accountancy degree fresh out - would you trust them with a multi million pound corporartion tax return? etc etc etc so YES, the real world is out...

My lil bros a fireman, hes a big hard fecker as well. Some of the s**t he tells me that hes seen - I think theyre worth every penny they earn quite honestly. Would you want to pull a half chared 5 year old kid out of a fire for feck all? then go home to your own kids and feed them and not think...

Hot fat, boiling water, pan of sh*t and p*ss. All three if they really annoy you.

I ALWAYS Supervise when the scaff goes up - then if trhere are any f ups its my fault.

See where i'm coming from with "mahoney" though cant ya. Thought you were taking the pss ;D

I don't get it!?!

Sounds like it could be if I get the job, already got one lad in the wings will skim for me for £2.40/metre

Thanks lads. Cheers to wizard and bods, i was thinking this was more reallistic. I spoke to the site forman when I "weighed" the job up and suggested about £5.50/metre, he said if I come in at £5.25/metre I should get it.

8-9 quid!?! youre shitin me!

Alright lads? Long time no posts but I could do with a hand with this one. Been asked to quote a metre rate for skimming (roughly 1000 metres) all the walls and ceilings are new board and the project manager wants me to quote including materials. There is a lot of straight forward work, however...

Really havnt a clue mate - just want to finish the job spot...

Can anyone help me out here? Iv'e just rendered about 6 square metres of blown render at some chaps house. However I have done it smooth and it looks like it has been coated with a "hi build masonry paint" When I spoke to a chap in the loacal paint store he said I shoud use a textured roller...

Cheers Fluff - what sort of names that by the way? Dunno whether to buy you a beer or put one through you lol

If your charging to take rads off - then surely its A MUST to put them back on without leaking. Took one off a couple of months ago and my Labourer stood on the pipe and twisted it which then pssed out!!! Fcin nightmare. £150 for plumber MATE to put right quicksmart!!!!! >:(

Took a look, good idea however I feel that you can get all of this in one form or another on most microsoft packages. Not a criticism just feel like your trying to re-invent the wheel - prob not for me but good luck fella!

Besty, what you looking at? :-\

Hi forty I could quite possibly be the most qualified plasterer in the world (Just not in plastering). Unfortunately, BTEC 1st & Nat Dip in Bus & fin, AAT and CIMA doesn't mean a lot in the world of plastering!!! However, I have friends that are more comfortable with IT than Bill Gates (One of...

Get one of our eastern European friends to do it for a swan and a couple of turnips! ;D

Any of you guys spezialize in venetian/faux/polished plastering? If so, how do you find the going? Fancy a go at my bathroom, but don't want to pay loads of money for materials if theres more than meets the eye. Looks a peice of cake on youtube (PLEASE DONT SLATE ME FOR THIS COMMENT) as I am...

how much for this sort of work?

thats ok for small areas grand, I would think though when youve say a 10 metre long wall to do it would be battens surely?
