How the hell can £3.00 m2 be s**t. Any spread that's any good should be able to bang 3 , three and a bit gauges on a day ,and be off by 2.30pm.that equates to 100m2 a day = £ 1500, When the recession hit ,we were getting £ 1.60 m2 ,and still making a wage If some of you lot were getting £ 6.00...

Forget Browning,it's crap. If it's medium /High suction ,tight coat of Hardwall,or Tuff Coat ,then straight back on it with box screed, get ceiling line and skirting line straight ,then rule off them

We got offered a load of work in Manchester just before Christmas, by the time they'd taken tax off , citb ,and retention it worked out at £ 2.10 m2 for skim Not good !

Just received the board lifter, looks a good bit of kit, well made and worth the money

Gonna get one of them

Did a hotel ,on sea front in Weston Super Mare about 25 yrs ago ,with Alpine Finish, dead easy to use, just a tight coat and rub a float horizontal down it

Thanks for the feedback,will give it a try.its not every wall just half a dozen that's hair line cracked.

Just got a skim only job on a large Grade 11 listed building (every ceiling and wall ). Some of the walls aren't the best ,so was thinking about bedding render mesh into first coat. Have any of you lads tried this ???. Any feedback much appreciated . Dave DS Plasterers

Try B C Stewart, from Darlington ,main man is Jeff Bunn, cracking firm to work for

I can remember the late 70s ,every time British Leyland ,at Longbridge went on strike 30,000 painters flooded the sites around Brum

Hi Pal...Why don't you give Plaster Plus a call,they have a few spreads on ,who may give you a start, they've loads of flats on the go at Salford

Site we were on last year,had us skimming kitchen first, then in the afternoon painter came in gave it a mist coat,following morning kitchen fitters came in to fit kitchen, that went on for 32 houses. Three of us were skimming two 4 bed houses a week..( No Pressure)

These were same, full of damp. It's no wonder, gangs used to go in Saturday morning,start from bottom of gable wall ,work up with scratch coat when they got to top ,start dashing into scratch coat, if they were quick enough only bottom lift had two coats Not saying we did that. ( as if )

Yeh Malc .these were same dashed in Canterbury spa,did loads in Redditch for Wimpeys. I worked with an Irish dashing team from Brum,guy called Bernie Brennan...Good times

Worked on Wimpey No Fines houses years ago ,it was in the spec that you scratched it wavey in vertical lines, so any rain ran off it

Looks like a Taylor Wimpey new build

Always leave a bit back off each gauge, to coat your beads ,door frames up ,ready for next set.Always find a rolling gauge works best with Knauf. We prefer it to BG

Hi Pal. We're Halifax based, who you been working for ? Loads of student flats going up in Hudds
