cheap labourers wanted

brokeashell

hey all.

ill start by saying, im new. :beer:

im about to start a house makeover. im looking for a couple of cheap labourers to help me pull the wallpaper down, strip the kitchen, and chase some walls. then once some other work is carried out, i would want them back to sand, and paint walls and woodwork

the house is in waltham cross. near enfield, or north london

£50 a day reasonable?

i will also be looking for an electrician to lay some cable, though i will probably need to spend a little more to get a qualified leccy in.

for a kitchen im probably gonna use howdens, though i have had wickes kitchens before, and theres nothing wrong with them if you can build a flat pack.

for tiles i might try topps tiles, unless people can recommend me somewhere else?

i have been in the contsruction industry myself for 11 years, though i am now not in a fit state to do all the work myself, so am looking for help.

any recommendations? or labourers that need work? let me know guys

thanks in advance

ps, i like this bath, any1 got something similar for less money, or can comment on this for quality?

ambassador 8 jet 1400x1400 corner bath? i found it with free end panel for £529. seems expensive to me. just want to weigh up my options

should find someone to do that cash in the claw. They will prob have to have 1 afternoon a week off to sign on though (could dock the 50 for this day)

You think £250 a week is reasonable in London ?

Judging by your original post it will be a botch job.

Youll get good labour I think in London, someone i know gets labour off gumtree.

But have a heart for heavens sake would you work for 50 quid a day in London?

If the OP does not take you up on your offer, i have plenty of work up here in Manchester for you yourself and family.Your wife can do the wahing/ironing and the kids can do the gardening.You only need to pay me £30 p/day.Hope you can all fit in my dog kennel as it will be your home for a few weeks.

So basically you want to pay nothing?

Peanuts and monkeys come to mind here.

Ask yourself, if someone came you offering £50 per day to do the above would you?

With the figures your talking the only way to do it that cheap with your location (or anywhere for that matter) is by pulling in favors from family and friends and get them to help.

If you have been in the trade for 11 years you should have some idea of a rough figure as to the going rate for a labourer.

Checking the job center job search for labourers in your area the going rate seems to be £6.50-£7.00.

http://jobseekers.direct.gov.uk/listjob.aspx?sessionid=0fe5018b-5e93-48ae-b37a-a5fe5b6f9dd2&pid=2&sid=231121943&p=1&so=1

Personally i would be looking at £8PH then because if they are having to advertise then they cannot get people at £6.50.
Just going off that search. But remember they will be bog standard labourers expect to pay quite a bit more for a labourer with a bit of sense that can do a bit on their own.

Just my opinion.
