Helping a mate out on wednesday (hopefully) up in milton keynes. He's a professional and does it for a living but I said I'd help him as his laborour has fractured his wrist.

Just wondering what the basics are and what i'll be expected to do.

I know what screeding is and the basics of it but just a heads up so I don't look like a complete tool whilst working lol.

Cheers.

Is that like felching?

sedan man

shovel like a bitch all day.lol

we call a screeders labourer his bitch..

good luck with that

Terry Tibbs

He's a mate so no doubt he won't be calling me a bitch How much do they pay also? the cunt takes home Ł900 a week so he better push me something good.

Lee Reynolds

No such thing as a professional screeder......its a labourers job anyways

Just be prepared to shovel like a bastard and get pushing that barrow

Terry Tibbs

For Ł900 a week I couldn't give a fuck what you call it

Lee Reynolds

every week 900 take home? Richest screeder in the uk then.......70k a year ISH before tax.......

not really Lee, that would be less than Ł47k and thats if he worked every week of the year
but BS anyway

Terry Tibbs

How is that Bullshit? he took Ł700 last week and felt he was being mugged off. He's a sub-contractor as far as I know so he gets the majority of the cahoot.

Gets paid per sq/ft(or m - can't remember) and he likes to bash on.

Lee Reynolds

not if he TAKES HOME 900 quid a week.... works out at just under 70k per year...68 maybe???

Not saying its bullshit, im just saying he must be the richest one in the uk...

Im in the wrong part of the business

Terry Tibbs

I'll ask exactly what he gets if you really want.

I know people who get Ł700-1000 a week for sorting bricks/breeze blocks/metal etc. from demolished buildings. It doesn't suprise me the money he is on.

It works out something like Ł40+k take home. Remember there are 52 weeks in the year mate. 52x900 = Ł46800

Lee Reynolds

yes i know, but take home is after tax. So like i say it equates to around 68k per year....

So you remember what take home is

Must be the southern prices. Whats he get per metre do you know? I know some brickies who have worked down london and been on 500 quid a thousand...

It is southern prices i worked with a mate screeding for a few months about 5 years ago and he was on Ł1200 a week then

mark

Lee Reynolds
