whats the going rate 4 supply and fit board & skim per m2
& the rate 4 fit only board and skim per m2. have been sent a questioner to do some subbie work but they aske me what i would charge . but i always charge per job the work they have is from small patching 2 large rooms 2 full houses but be4 they give the go ahead they always ask how much do u charge per m2 . THANKS MUCO MUCO

I assume you’ve always charged a day rate for labour plus material cost + a percentage. Probably the easiest way to get round this would be to ask to price a full house for the client. That way you can price the job the way you have been doing, ie say two men 3 days, plus Xm2 of 9mm plasterboard, plus X bags of board finish. Then work out the total, divide it by the total m2 of board used, and that will give you a composite rate for labour & materials.

They should be aware that you will need to charge a day rate for small jobs, as it simply won’t be worth you while to do say a 3m2 wall once you take into consideration travel to site etc. Also, your rates for dot & dab will be different to fixing with drywall screws, and your rates for boarding a ceiling likewise. You need to know if they want 9mm boards or 12mm, if they want insulation board etc….there are too many variables to just say you charge X pounds per m2. You need more info from them or they might be in a position to sting you.

Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with anyone doing evening classes for plastering, in Northants area. Or do you know of any around there. Thanks.

check out moulton college – they do loads of courses not just farming courses!

i wanna know if theres any small construction jobs for my dad like painting, plaster all of that please answer my question THANK YOU!

Look up Labor Ready on Mapquest. It’s a construction temp agency, located on Flamingo, that always has work available.

Or you could post a freelance ad for him on Craigslist.

My husband is looking for a career change and we would love to relocate the whole family, in the future to Australia. Having been on various official websites I cannot find out which Plastering qualifications will be valid in Australia if any. Would hate to spend 3yrs doing a course only to find it usless for working overseas. Anybody with any advice regarding emmigrating to Oz and finding work there please?

Employment experience is more highly regarded than qualifications. Employers know about city & guilds and NVQs, etc…

To be eligible to migrate your husband will need to complete an official apprenticeship in plastering or work in the trade for at least 6 years.

There are some cracks and a 6" hole in the one pillar that is crumbling out pieces of what looks like plaster. The house is very old and there is plaster on most of the walls, but I always thought the pillars outside were brick, since they have lines that appear to be brick. With the way it crumbles out could it be a wood frame for support and plaster made to look like brick? How would I determine this and then how can I fix it? Thanks for any help.

Plaster is only for indoors. Water would have washed plaster right off the supports. It could be a Stucco finish, or else the bricks are just crumbling from weight. You may have to replace the posts.

Get a professional to look at them. You can get a free estimate, and ask the contractor how he plans to fix it.
