Reason why i'm asking is at the moment i am working for my girlfriends old man. I have been thinking about starting up on my own as would like to build up my own clientele. As have been working for him for around 2 years so have lost contact with anyone I used to do work for. (Plus I can run jobs the way I would and quote what I would charge for a job)
I am a plasterer but also can do Tiling, Kitchen fitting, re/pointing, patios, basic decorating etc all to a good standard.
Right back to the question!
If you had experience in general building as well as being a good plasterer and were going to start up your own business, would you guys advertise as a Plasterer and specialise in one thing. Or advertise as a Plasterer and general builder.
I was thinking there's more money in general building than plastering as seem to only earn a wage in plastering and rarely can add a profit into the quote.
What would you guys do?
I live on the Isle of Wight and am looking at Domestic side of things. Not alot of site work over here and the rates aren't good on site work and have to always chase for your money.
