I know its not the uk but here in dublin you talking about 4.50 to 6.50 per m2 that euro.Work is tight at the moment so you really have to take what you get I usually price at 25 euro per board tack and skim on a new build and thats direct to builder.

well lads there dosent seem to be a massive difference in prices at the mo £2.50/3.00 skim is more or less the going rate,

Bod there dosent seem to be much float / set around, at a guess i would say £5.00 per meter I remember when i was getting 60p skim and 1.20 float/set, those where the days

people keep telling me that not alot of the young spreads can do float/set so they say it should be very well paid for the few that can do it on price but I have never heard of any big money being paid for it, just £5.00per meter wich really is chite

float and set was allways double the price of skim but I have heard its starting to drop lower than double price, the beuty about hardwall is if you are on decent blockwork you can really spread it out and thin down I remeber the first hardwall job I did it was 16 /17 years ago being used to browning and skimming all my life the change over to hardwall was a nice suprise as I seemed to be able to get it thinner without showing on the finish job which meant at the time an extra 30 odd meters per week compared to browning, I can remember because my pay jumped up to over £70 per week extra which was a massive difference at the time
