He would have to wait a week for patches to dry in that damp plasterer house ide come back when patches were done or leave it !

F**k the site off asap 💯

Delays and reductions with payment is a constant. I hate having to finish off something the builders are supposed to have got done. Happens all the time. Thanks for uploading.

Having to do the mist and patch it is outrageous

This the problem with the decorating trade rather than stick together and say no and walk away to the low prices you always get people who do it for next to nothing so prices are forced down cos some idiot takes it on,you don’t see any other trade being taken the piss out of like painters and decorators on site,when painters are the key to everything and probably got the most time consuming and labour intensive work so I’d rather stay in bed or go work in tescos or drive a bus than do a 2 bed new work for £900 can’t see how you can do that all in 4 days you must be doing some crazy long days that will bring down your hourly rate even further,3 coats on everything plus all the caulking filling rubbing down taping up drying times ,even spraying it they can go do one for that money I wouldn’t even get a brush out for that unless was in the 3k minimum mark and id still be wary and I’ve walked away many a times when they come out with £1800 If they got no one they soon will up the price believe you me and that’s why site work is shit money and always will be

Couldn’t agree more I’ve been a decorator 32 years and earned more doing a living room and dining room in a private house Piss take what they give it’s slave labour

Love this content 😊

Can you do a video on your spraying rig / spray methods. (What order you paint what, tip sizes etc) Keep the vids coming!

Mark there raking the piss you do you graft and they pull your pants gown better off on The books that's what I did towards. The end. When your subbing supply your own kit petrol sort out receipts ect not worth it Mark. All the best candleman don't let the footers grind you down mate😊

I would be straight round to see the site agent or manager about all the patching. I am a stickler about not doing anything more than a fifty pence size as well as repeating poor plaster finishing. The way I see it is if you don't complain and refuse to do it more fool you (the painter). It's bad enough now with caulking pre finished frames as the gaps are so wide compared to the traditional on site made frames. If all quality is lost until the end game. It is the end.

2 bed house fully decorated £984? that’s shit mate,don’t know how you even did that in 4 and half days? I’d want two weeks to do that,and a lot more dosh.

what happens when the carpenter fits the door furniture and marks the paintwork on the doors and frames i walk away from that building company

The problems you've got with this company sound to stressful you've got enough on your plate just doing the work get out of there as soon as possible ; your a hard worker you don't need this shit .goodluck😊😊😊😊😊😢

northampton area, 2bed no doors to paint, all white. £ 620

we need a life on the brush videos, they are qaulity.

Thats crap £1200 all day long.

The price is excluding all materials, I take it?

Time for a move mate u look tired

The crap workmanship is rolled over to the last man, but if you fck up they doc your wage, or get you back to sort it!

forgot to ask... who caulks up skirting onto bare plaster!

Not brushed a door in years😢

Its strange no roller finish , two fussy blokes almost a spray finish, most people would prefer this finish. Also the satin being shiny is out of fashion for most... matt or eggshell nowadays. Johnstones just brought out a new AQUA guard matt.

Dulux have new sikkens satin what is used on David wilson and Barratts as real shiney finish to it but on social houses it’s dulux satinwood

Just remembered how much I hate magnolia!

You said it.your always getting robbed at this game its not worth it in the long run too much stress

Patching should only be done by painter on private work so they can build in cost of remedial work.

Sounds a right ball ache and for not much money .

2 bed all white no doors. £550 beat that

How do you spray your ceilings and walls when they’re a different colour do you mask up the ceilings?

Why would the pipes need painting? 😅

That's shocking, we get £1150 on books same type plot , already mist coated, doors prefinished,why they expecting you to patch it in that as well, I'd get away asap sound like con artists to me

Merseyside £650 max .

That should of been misscoated before anything was fitted aswell loaf bollox on sites now hate them

Grab your tools mate, that sounds wank. That whole setup stinks of agro.

BTW... are you classed as a Subbie or on the books/PAYE for them

SE £900 2 bed white plot

A bit shit that.

Walk away! Disgusting how building companies treat us, painters. These patches you've noted, are these so-called snagging people not looking at everyone else's so there put right before you start.

seems mental youre still using oil based on new build. Must be a pain!

That is a lot off work for a grand,trades men getting riped off you have over-heads and you should ideally be putting a third off your wage in to a pension and saving money for holidays and time off sick ect..

Er magnolia

Never understood site work. Nobody cares. Not there house. Trade matt roll out they will need paint again in a more durable paint. Try flotrol spray like finish from brush and roller.

We have to work for people who think they're entitled to your wage.... Thieving grifters!🤔

Go somewhere else.

You can and have done better than this mate, they sound like a bunch of idiots and I bet they try to con you!
