so lets take it back! we need to raise the bar, put some skill back into doing things! then we can get rid of all the chancres and immigrants who are stealing our work and then we can start to charge more.
its all this 'im just a skimmer' that is killing the game, if everybody started to offer there customers different options then there would start to be more of a demand for real plasterers.
for example next time you go to price a reskim on a living room ceiling you could ask the customer if they would like you to run some cornice for them or even just hand cove the ceiling for them.
there are lots of aspects to our trade but we all seem to be just doing the basics.
