I know what your saying

But your also saying that you would pay £350 for a days labour which is fair enough, but thats also a price from a good FRIEND..
TBH i would not wanna pay £580 either but if thats what the going rate is

Plasters are like us Carpet fitters we also do not work on hourly rate we charge basic price per square metre plus other bits and pieces on top,
