3 Days for a ceiling

[pkillie]

Just done a ceiling today, it was around 6mx4msq, i charged 250 for cash and when the lady paid me she told me about another quote she got, turns out the the other guy wanted £480 and said it would take him 3 days, it took me and my mate 4 hours but this other guy drives about my town with his lettered van saying he,s a spread ,pisses me off and gives the trade a bad name he went on one of them courses but if they get told 3 days for a ceiling GREAT all the more for us then ;D

Jesus 1 set took 4 hours did you buy slow setting plaster. And thats only 24m2 which is roughly 2-3 bags easily done by 1 spread imo.

Bod I think you will find the 4 hours is from the time he knocked on the front door to the time he shut it on the way out. I would of done it on my own though then again im greedy

the builder was a chancer... been told 3 ceilings a day, been down the pub and got it arse to bollox...
theres quite a few people never picked a trowel up in their lives running companies 'specialising' in domestic building works, charging over the odds and turning out shite work but theyre getting the work cos some tw@t with a posh motor and an ego problem turns up making out theyre the best thing since sliced bread...

i really need to get a whistle and a beemer... ;D

How do you get those prices, I would quote £180.00 knowing full well some chancer will come in at £100.00

which makes no sense then as you would still lose out to the the so called chancer at 100 I never price a job cheaper because someone maybe cheaper than me.

I was only joking about the 3 days to do a ceiling.
It would really take me 2 & a half days.
Oh & maybe half a day the next day to clear the job off ;D
