I need another decorator for occasional contract work in prestige homes in and around mid Essex.

You'll need to be self employed with your own tools and transport, have up to date public liability insurance along with a minimum of 5 years experience - I'll need references too.

Interested? Capable? Tidy Worker?

PM me.

[Shameless plug on]

I know not painting and decorating but my Dad is a self employed tiler if you ever need one. He has worked in Homes worth several million pounds but happy to work on any type of property of any value. Let me know if you would like contact details for future reference should the need arise.

Matt.

I'd have thought you'd need to pay a bit more than £100 for a "good" painter for prestige homes. The good ones aren't normally short of work.

That seems to be around the going rate - and of course charge your painter's time on most jobs at much more than that and you don't get the work in the first place. Problem locally is there's just not enough work at the moment, hopefully it'll pick up when the kids go back to school

But you're right - really good ones will often earn more than that per day - I've had to fork out more in the past, and of course I pay myself a lot more than that on the rare occasions I get up off my fat arse and do a bit too... wink
