I always find it funny when some one rings months in advance and asks ,can you do our flat in june, I say , no problem ring me when its nearly ready ie in four months time....
 
For amusement when some petrol station owners used to ask how much to do my ceiling, I would say about £50 and give them my pals number...
 
When it comes to plastering why does every customer want it done for nothing,it really winds me up!
do they not realise the graft and skill that goes into each job,
Just because you don't have to get stuff passed off like plumbing and electrics doesn't
mean we are not skilled tradesmen!
 
What finish do you want I asked the builder"oh just everything pink he said" I said why dont you ******* paint it then...

Did two rooms for £400 :RpS_mad:
Quite doable for the price.

I said £950 he said no way....

He went around every area asking how long it would take....got me to say £850....still said no way.

He said £700.
