Gibbo I think it depends where you live mate.
My brother lives in london £950 a month renting 2bed small house.+ nursery bills+ all other **** comes with it.
Him and his misses both good wages.
(Not plastering).
They stuggle.
Lads I know up north £450 mortgage 2 bed house + bills.
skimming low rates...always on holiday comfy life !!

I agree, what is a good rate to one spread isnt necessarily a good rate to another, where I live and the next town there is about a£40 difference in the so called,going rate for what a builder expects to pay a spread for a days work.

I've never understood that approach to plasterers or any other trades, and I wouldn't think of using it either. If someone tried to dictate my rate they'd get a swift response, so why would I or any other builder try to do it to someone else?
It's a simple process, ask how they want paying (per square metre, day rate or job price) then add that into the job cost. Everyone knows where they stand and the job gets done. Earning a living is hard enough as it is without p1ssing people off and adding to the complications.

Thats not that bad to be honest, £280 a day minus tax. You'd probably earn more if you had a labourer though

Maybe be a silly question but what does your mrs do to earn more than that and can you post some pics ?
Thats one firm the rates of the rest r a good bit worse and a pack of *****. One week u might then next u make 390 dayrate then ur layed off for a month
lifes full of moaners, you find them any where in life, in the local, on sites, in high flying careers etc, bleating about this and that.

Yes exactly, I mentioned the builders as they have got the ball park figure they want to pay from previous spreads in the area charging that price,just realy mentioned it as an example of differing rates in such a small area,I keep my dayrate the same wherever I work.i definitely couldnt except less the way my mrs spends lol
You tried that site behind Central Station mate, its been going a while so they might be taking on and its huge? I'll keep my eyes open for other new sites, one up in Northumberland Park, I think there is one in Longbenton and a few more I know of over the water. I haven't really been looking on my travels.

If the sites open 7.30 till 4.00 then there's plenty of time.
