Hi all ! I hope business goes well. I have a question as a new guy here. How much do you pay for your fitters? I mean lvt, carpet and laminate. Thanks.
I don`t think thats an easy question to answer. Cards in/subbie What area How capable Day works or price Lots of variables !
Good point. Someone who has his own van, tools and is able to fit all floors with carpet, lamina and lvt. Commercial jobs like houses, private shops or care homes.
A big factor could be location as rates can vary a lot. Are you looking a price work or day work. We were offered some care home work last year, and the rates were very very bad. A mate had a go and lasted just a day.
Bristol, Bath area, so Southwest. It would be more of a day work. I am interested about rates not taking price work. Thanks.
Defo £200 - £250 a day nowadays, seems to be the going rate around the mids. The work I sub out to 2 lads from Notts sent me a text week before Xmas saying their day rate is now £250 a day and they'll include the fuel to here in Leicester and because they're work is top notch I'd pay them £275 with fuel if I had to.
You can claim Mileage off your tax bill that pays for the cost of running a van but I don’t think you can claim the fuel other than the vat if your vat registered?
Personally, I think it depends on the distance the job is. If its more than say 100 miles return, I would pay a bit towards juice, and would also expect a bit if I was a subbie.
We pay ours dependant on what they do. could be anywhere between £150-£250 a day. We're South Bristol so cover the area you're saying.
Most jobs I have seen around Bristol are £20 an hour unless it is for trainee or something but I expect like you said it depends on the job.
Not really. Every now and then I enjoyed the pride of a job well done, but the vast majority of the time as an employee you were dealing with constant headaches of getting things done or cutting costs. Then I turned 40 and decided I wanted off my knees.
