help with a price

[oasis]

i have been 2 see a small 2 story extetion that need to be skimed..

all the walls will already be boarded..the best way to brake it down will be that its 3 average rooms with windows plus one larger room that joins on to the old kitchen and they will want the old artex in that room covered to.

i no that there are a few people pricing this one.

I'm not sore what day rate to go with..they said they think its a weeks work but they dont plaster so..

as a ruff guide iv allowed 2 days a room at £140 a day =£1120 that's just me ill want a labourer to dow? does this seem to much for this kind of job? is a private job.but they build half the job them self's.

on the books £1000, cash £800 they supply all gear and this includes £50 per day labourer

depends what you call an average room mate..
4x3m on board, i'd have it on my own in a day easy for 200 quid cash 2 sets, ceiling and one wall 1st, rest 2nd..

4 days, 800 quid for cash.. inc materials..

make sure the boardings right first though..
charge em for any bonding out/sticky out screws etc..

 

[oasis]

sorry forgot to say they are supplying.. just finkin |£1120 wouldt be that bad a price if i take 20% OFF ITS £896 then say i have a lab for 4 days take off £200 leaves me with £698 for a weeks work and maybe 4 days work if i get on it. do you think that sounds fair? mind you bet some c**t comes in with £550 ..and as for cash i reali dont like sayin as they might fink im a cowboy.
thanks

 

[oasis]

that will be 4 rooms in total.

 

[skimmin2day]

3 rooms = 3 days maybe 4 ???hard to say with seeing and nowing exact sizes backgrounds etc etc.
I wouldnt be suprised to see someone come in at £550 like you say if they suppling materials.
Actually id say without seeing £550 sounds quite good to me 3 days no materials for cash.TEMPTING!!!

 

[bigsegs]

to be honest cos its all on board id go in a bit cheaper still cos i need the work.. but its not my job so..
id happily do a reskim for 200 quid cash, days work..

 

[oasis]

maybe ill drop a lil but im sore something will crop up like unfinished bits and areas . kit not on job..someting allways goes wrong and im starting 2 get fed up of working my ass off all week for £100-£120 a day gettin f**k*d for basic pay. o yea there is no cash so remmember to take ya 20% off! thats wot kills it.

 

[skimmin2day]

Oh 4 rooms now !!!
Even so if its on boards in an extansion still 3 maybe 4 days work..Better than nothing £550 cash sounds ok to me.
if i wasn't booked out for 3 weeks id do it for sure.
try to bring it in over a early friday finish sat sun and a late start on a monday for the next job it's all bonce then.

 

[oasis]

i do 2 coats on board still.. as i no how theys jobs go id say 5 days..take £650-700 id be happy

 

[skimmin2day]

I personaly 2 coat everything its the only way i know.it really is hard to price when you cant see it.
But for me personaly 4 medium sized rooms with lids is 3 days 4 absolute max anything above £550 cash is good.
2 plasters would easy knock that out in 2 days with extaneded lunches!

If you need the work go in low if not go in for £700 last year you would of got that i reckon

 

[oasis]

ok thanks im ganna go with 1.5 days a room just to cover my self and try not 2 streach me self and do a ood job.. so 6 days all in all at £140 a day plus £150 for a labv for 3 days..thata do it i reckon,

 

[bigsegs]

heres a good one..
just taken a call, bloke wants a price for 30 square metres of plastering..
so when ive got the details out of him and explain 1) ill need to see it and 2) i charge by the set, not the metre...
i get it that its a h/s/l ceilings, big wall etc... up malborne so its dry lined and unsealed before lining paper
bloke says he's just ringing round for quotes, so i go 'rough guess, 2 - 3 hundred depending on prep etc'
he goes, well ive already been quoted 120...
4 quid a metre, domestic, lining paper straight onto board (which when they try to remove it destroys the boards) this blokes havin a laff surely?

 

[iain_flanagan]

av they done the boarding yet,wouldnt giv em price till ive seen the boarding, just an estimate

 

[bigsegs]

yes mate, theyre old council type things, half brick half timber frame, drylined years ago and lining papered and painted..
learned my lesson last time.. they need gypbond really, i tried with pva and what a nightmare..
30 squares only a couple of sets but theyre just nasty to skim..
the ceilings tend to be this foam board stuff too..
still didnt give him a quote, just a rough idea.. bloke aint got the money yet but jesus 120 quid?? thats gotta be an ex site plasterer or an ii (illegal immigrant) :

 

[iain_flanagan]

ment oasis job segs, has that been boarded yet,
