By the day about £130 labour only, not including material or
scaffolding. Best to get a fixed quote for the whole lot. usually
quoted on the square yard/metre. Day rate is a no no, believe me.


Thanks Kipper. I'd be worried about a day rate for the obvious
reasons.
How many square metres should a good man be able to do in a day,
assuming all materials available on site?
