Handyman, we paid what the man asked. We were not taking advantage of him!!
My husband is a builder and knows several people who charge £25-40 a day for this type of work. Being in the trade we tend to know the going rate.

I find this hard to believe too. £3.12 per hour ??? Unless of course you are using foreign labour (possibly illegal aliens) without CIS registration. Otherwise £25-40 is not the going rate - a painter with basic experience can command £75-90.

No british worker, worked until about 2pm to get that amount of days work done.

I stand corrected by my husband who has just come in...

£30 was half day rate, full day rate £60

Well that's £7.50 per hour which is not that far out for someone who is not running his own business.

I wouldn't work for that but I'm paying my own overheads. However I know people here are paying their guys that or just a bit above, but they are picking them up and dropping them off as well.

100% pay rise.......nice if you can get it

We paid £30 a day to our plasterer but had to pick him up (couldnt drive) and supplied materials and his lunch. Mind you he did a lot of work - the entire house was replastered and it took him two days per room.
Most were just patched up (were the electricians had been) and then he skimmed over the entire room.

He was cheap and a good worker.

flippin heck thats cheap!
