Lubala on £1,800 per week

Adnan Januza was on £45k a week when he was 23 at Utd...
Joe Hart get £50k a week....and all he does is turn up for practice....😳
 
Got a quote from a decorator for my hall stairs and landing and bedroom the other day and that was 1900 plus materials. Likely take him five days to do, so 1800 a week seems fair enough for a professional footballer.

Jesus im a joiner and thats a lot unless your house is a vast.
If you want a number for a decorator give us a shout I’ve had full houses done for less.
 
I’d have thought that was probably about right for Div 1. I had it that we’d pay £1.5-2.0k per week for most players.

Then probably 5-6k bring our norm for the Championship contracts?

Probably the average in this division is £10-20k per week (unless you’re Derby)

That puts your decorator on around £98k a year....was he wearing a mask when he quoted...and I don't mean one of these...😷
 
£1,800 per week sounds about right to me.

I can't help but think the latest shenanigans are clouding the opinions of some.

I know they are lots of factors to consider but if another League One side was to sign a young League Two player for £300k, how much would we expect the young player to earn at his new club ?

Unless he has staff working for him and you live in a very large house, that is an excessive quote.

Would have expected a grand tops + materials for a decent one man band.
 
Just a thought...would be good to have another side forum where Blackpool fans can promote their business.
Plumbers, electricians etc..In fact any business (shops, legal, schools, NHS).....save them on advertising and would allow people to use a Pool fan

That will take more than 5 days unless you live in a caravan.
 
Got a quote for. New garage roof GRP of over £2800
I’ve been and bought all the materials myself plus new guttering etc. Only 2 days work
All the materials I’ve bought and the labour from another roofer for a grand total of £1100
I won’t be ripped off 😆😆😆
 
Remember doing some large HMO's years ago for a favour, white for wood and magnolia for walls and ceiling, two of us used to do them in a day. Depending on what needs doing then the price could be right.

I’ve actually had four quotes that have ranged from 1800 to 2500. It’s not a big house, standard 3 bed semi,but I’m guessing it’s got a fulwood premium (maybe they’ve spotted the pool pictures up!)
Any suggestions of people willing to cross the m55 for a reasonable fee appreciated.
 
Im not interested in P & D these days but it would be best to list what needs doing.
Old wall paper removed
Prepping in case, cracks, re plastering.
Wall paper, backing wall paper.
Who many doors. I always do three coats.
Walls, ceiling, how many, rough area, coats as above.
Just remember quality costs.
 
That does sound a high hourly rate, not just there but down here too where wages are high and property prices extortionate.

My business does a lot of hard landscaping and I have really good trade accounts with big discounts so I can still make good money and charge the client no more than they would pay if thy had to get it themselves. If I can't get a trade price I get the client to pay directly as it will save them money and me time and effort as I'm not going to provide products without a mark up.

I'm not sure where he is getting his hourly rate from though!! That's without any materials and seems absolutely incredibly high, Even if he is doing 8 hours a day without a break, which is highly unlikely that's £47.50 an hour if he's working on his own. That is if it is only going to take him 5 days, which to be fair should be about right for those 2 rooms even if the Hall stairs and landing can be a bastard. Preparation is key, he needs to do that properly and that can take time if you have to strip off old wall paper etc., but even if he is it would only be an extra day if anything.

There must be someone on this board who is a decorator than can come and give you a quote? It's not exactly a long way is it and even if you paid them an hour a day for travel on top it would be a lot less than that.

Not qualified as in qualifications but having done mine and relatives in the past I know the amount of time it takes to do a good job and a not so good job. Always said it, people on here want things on the cheap or free.

I think the assumption a lot of people make is that expensive = quality.

The bloke I use charges £100 per day…. He’s quality.

for landscaping? £25 an hour so £175 for a 7 hour day, I would say we are mid/top end. I charge more for design and have an hourly rate for gardening. I charge VAT on top too, which I would have thought the guy in Fulwood would too if he is charging those rates. I also charge more for design work. To be honest in the last 6 months I tend to be working off site as I have so many projects to design and cost and sort out suppliers and also plants, etc., I try and do 2 days a week on a project or in a garden a week, sometimes it is more, but really it needs to be 2 maximum, preferably 1 so I can do all the other stuff. Fortunately I have a really good team who work for me.

Edit to add I charge £30 an hour for me for gardening and more for design. No one has ever baulked at that.

So between 175 and 210 day rate, I think I would go with that up here for most trades. Like BFCx3 says he knows someone good for cheaper, like I do for some trades but know they will charge their normal day rate for others. If two people are on the job then it is roughly right. My mate has an apprentice and several staff to pay,should he not cover his costs or make a profit.

Thing is though TITD, not only are some of them charging the big daily rates, they drag the jobs out as well.
