Yes it's very busy here in Manchester got people ringing from 10 years back
 
Yes voicemail is full. Inbox is full. Maybe it’s brexit and people selling houses at what may be peak house prices hoping to buy when people expect prices to drop? So here having work done to tart stuff up
 
There is more around my way now but they are s**t
One has the course practical area on there new fb page they keep boosting, another went to a job I forgot to go quote he put pva on then never went back , god knows what either quote honestly I don’t care , never been as busy can’t get any help on jobs , started bombing off any I don’t want to do politely and agree on the ageing workforce bit
Brexit might be bad but not as bad as they have it in Syria
 
Been agood year . I,m gonna be more organised and professional next year. Even bought a diary. Don’t check my voice mails. And if I,m honest I don’t phone a lot of people back . Think next year I might go price all jobs up and just pimp other plasterers I know out see how it goes for a few months

I put it down to house building shear volume there is now being built, council offices approving most applications. Keeps the site gangs on site and private folk busy. Most people are putting their money into bricks and motar round my way so plenty of refurbs and landlord jobs.
 
  • Agree
Reactions: Djr
It's the same as after previous recessions. During them site lads do domestic to keep going, firms go bust and people leave the trades to work in factories etc.

After the recession loads go back to site work, and the rest stay gone. Eventually the trades fill up, then everyone and their dog is jumping in. There's 10 years or so of things being good, then another recession and round it goes.

I'm no busier now than before or during the recession and the world keeps turning. (y)

I’ve never been entirely sure what that is. I flick between bbc, sky news and Al Jazeera.

Maybe it’s because Si works in the housing market or because we’re currently in a buying/selling moment in life, but some people rightly or wrongly are expecting a dip in house prices after brexit so that’s where their heads may be at
 
I have a neighbour who develops in London, and he cannot get rid of property's, prices are dropping. Don't get carried away this is another bubble ready to pop.
Americas debt is in sustainable and respected economists say signs are we are in for a almighty bump worse than depression in 1920's. Who really knows but save your eggs is my advice.

Record unemployment, the economy is up,’interest rates going in the right direction lol where is the issue?


Btw the reason London prices are going down is because of the moron George Osborne and his stamp duty hike.
