    Hi Nick, not all the contract guys are bad.
    You just need to shop around, and find one who pays decent rates, and who appreciate a decent fitter

    Is it new build ?
    Site conditions can be shit, that`s for sure, but if a decent firm behind you, that can be rectified.
    I worked for a firm a while ago, and £1.50 was there rate for latex. I argued a bit and got an extra 50p for primer, and another 50p if the areas needed scraping up (which they always do).
    All there rates were low, but we worked out an overall rate, that worked in the end.

    If you have 10 plots ready, it can work, but site conditions need to be right.
