site work

[FrankNewman275]

If more spreads said no prices will increase

Wise words Danny, I price jobs and. Told the competition is cheaper , but the job is mine at their price.
No thanks , again everything is paid not worth it

 

[spreadylonglegs]

If more spreads said no prices will increase

Theres loads of work out there but they are keeping prices low cos they know somebody will do it. Also most houses on site now have sloping ceilings upstairs but you only get flat m2 price on them.

 

[Bennyspreadsmore]

I wouldn't bother for £2 a metre. 50m a day skimming on average means after tax you'll take 80 where are you

Sorry danny but that aint gonna happen

 

[Gibbo]

It aint the poles driving down the rates its the main contractors they just happen to have lower overheads than the british

 

[keithuk]

Ban foreign workers to do plastering for crap rates , those poles ruin our work as they can work for nothing

i have to be honest , i have never met one in the plastering world , must be my part of Kent

 

[Gibbo]

Ive met loads in kent had a whole job of a 160 flats in maidstone gone because of them

 

[johniosaif]

I don't agree, lots on here work for nothing and they are English, lots also making good money too, the polish have the same costs as you and I, rent, fuel,food etc or do you think they live on fresh air.

 

[johniosaif]

Yes but who will accept those rubbish site pay rates ? Over my dead body I do for those rates. As plastering is skilled craft

Not just skilled, it's wearing on the body.very wearing

Pull out of site work mate , the thing in our game ,it is not that hard to set walls :RpS_unsure: , i now await the hanging :RpS_scared:

Two spreads i now work out of Maidstone ,Malcolm and Dave ,said the same

 

[keithuk]

Yes as need to work fast to make money in sites - it wear you down - best bring up the rates to make it worth it to do that - best is domestics but there is not a lot of work around - mmm but more work in flooded areas in Southerners with chopping off plaster and re-plaster - many newly builds are D&D so plenty of work but unfortunately I'm Northerner

Put your wellies on ,come down ,it is a bit wet at the moment:RpS_crying:

 

[keithuk]

Mmm would be hard for me to come down as I have very young family to support as I'm very family man - let's hope it get flooded bad in Grimsby then more local jobs!

It will soon pick up ,do you just do site work , inside ?

 

[keithuk]

Nope only do domestics - I liked it as they pay up when I finish up plus they make cuppa too!

:RpS_confused: why you moaning about site rates ,with respect

 

[flynnyman]

Never seen a polish plasterer to this day and I've been at it 25 years like what's been said it's the contractors undercutting each other and unfortunately bills need paying so some will do it.

So it is not just me :RpS_unsure:

 

[rob88]

going to stick to domestic myself now, doing a bathroom tomorrow getting more for that day than 3 days on site and not breaking my back for it

 

[keithuk]

I wanted to do site work but pay is crap so I do domestic instead where pay is good.

Call me thick ,but stay on domestic work then mate :RpS_thumbup:

 

[rob88]

does everyone on here advertise or just through word of mouth?

 

[Olican]

I meet a lot of spreads down our way and Ive never met or seen any poles plastering. A few doing groundworks but thats it. I had a polish labourer for a few weeks and he told me his gameplan (and that of many of his fellow countrymen) was to earn enough to buy a property back home then leggit. He needed 5k to buy his flat off the council in Krakoff, soon as he had the money he went. I think some are settling but alot are drifting back

 

[Olican]

Mine - rely on word of mouth as my website is just a business card in case my client lost my literal business card.

just seen your site, nice to put a face to the name. Gave your Facebook page a couple of likes, feel free to return the favour :RpS_wink::RpS_thumbsup: https://www.facebook.com/Rivieraplastering?ref=tn_tnmn

[Gibbo]

You see? The labour market is in big mess as too much foreigners take away our jobs and contractors exploit them with low wages and rake in huge profits.

You are talking rubbish mate the poles are good spreads its the other eu,s that aint they work for the same rates as us they just aint got the overheads we have

 

[rob88]

Good and bad everywhere from every part of the world and every part of the uk, how many guys on here know 5 spreads that they can recommend for quality, for honesty, for not robbing the contacts and for returning the favour

 

[rob88]

top spreads definitely a minority , and the polish on site where i was before i fuked it off getting less than my prices i was on

Quite true, 90% of the work i see is sub standard. So pro rata that includes 70% of the peeps on here, i'll allow an extra 20% because if you're keen enough to search out a forum them you are perhaps interested in doing a good job. You're not part of the 70% are you Johnny?
