Quote for hanging a door

Add frames to that also,

Using existing framework or installation of new one.

Very good price

I doubt that , most kids leaving school now want to head to college and not a building site. Good tradesmen will become more expensive if anything. And for small jobs like hanging g 6 doors you'll pay a premium because the tradesman would rather hold out for longer higher grossing jobs.

Oh that old chestnut of a race to the bottom. Oft quoted by the likes of trades unions when they are being called out on their unrealistic expectations of double digit pay rises.

I am sorry, but in today's work, 500 per day for a tradesman is stupid pay.

Lol. Rofl.

Go learn to hang an oak door so!

I bet you think this type of work is unskilled too and the lad has no overheads....

As per labour court recommendation for period from Feb 2022, tradesperson minimum rate is going to be €20.52. An unskilled person with at least 2 years experience will get minimum of €18.47

Combine both, and give 1.5 hours per door. That would be around €351. I don't think tax, fuel should make up around 500 quid extra. I would say 6-700 would be a fairer and more reasonable amount of money for the job and still give the tradesman a nice little profit.

As for that nonsensical quip about "know their status and stay down there" - well, I'll leave that in the rubbish tip where it belongs.

OP @[Deleted User] reckons you should just pay and be thankful for lining the pocket of the tradesman.

Not unfounded when you know builders who have them. I personally know some who do.

Of course I do know the overheads, having being involved in a family run construction firm for quite a while.

I knew the bad days of the 80's when there was no work in construction, and certainly no government supports or any such like.

I knew how tough it was to get money post completion of a job.

So don't assume you know me or what I know/don't know.

I've had it said by more than one tradesman calling to my house of late - that they have been chasing others for payment, and so will have to increase charges because they are losing money. A builder friend had 3 apartments paid for, and nothing to show for in Bulgaria. He's lost money. He subsequently increased his prices to make up the shortfall in his investment. But you don't think that happens, no? You're either very gullible or innocent.

Ire and spittle? I think perhaps you've shown yours.

Trades are important and are needed. But my goodness, it looks and feels like some are holding customers hostage by refusing to do the bread and butter work in favour of big jobs, and then charging exorbitant rates when they eventually bother showing up to do so.

I often had tradespeople agreeing a time and day to call, and then not bothering to show up. I have lost time and money due to this. Perhaps I should start charging them for no shows. What would you think of that? I bet it wouldn't wash. Neither should the litany of reasons for their charging over the top prices.

Back to Bulgaria again are we...

Personal " You must be gullible or innocent" remarks show you have little substance to add here.

Wtf is he doing going on about Bulgaria. Jesus have I ever heard such shite.

Genuinely love to see him do this for 500. He wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Spoofer.
