Alright chaps,
As work is a bit thin on the ground, I went for a meeting at a local conservatory fitting company who assured me that so long as my work was up to scratch then they had plenty on and would take me on as one of their plasterers.
As 90% of my work is domestic I'm a bit green when it comes to working for large firms and would appreciate your comments on the following...
The Manager wants me to submit a meterage rate to INCLUDE the cost of materials - Ie, if I was happy to work for £3 a square metre then I would have to supply the materials needed. Thats not so much a problem as I can work it out fairly accurately but what does concern me is the possibility that I could be sent to a job only to find its a couple of dwarf walls that works out at about 10 square metres - £30 for a job !!!
Anyone else had to work like this or do I put a clause in saying that no matter what the meterage, I want a minimum of £80 or so before I get out of bed ?
