A gypo only accepts jobs so they can scope out their next targets. | |

tbh, I'd rather pay a 'pro' 2k than a gypo £2, regardless of quality. | |

Gypos are the way forward. They have been doing a few odd jobs for people on my street for next to nothing and the workmanship is as good as if you'd paid a so called professional. Granted you'd only let them work in your garden instead of the house as they'll rob you but isn't that what these people who charge 2k for 3 days work are doing? | |

I had a quote from a couple of people to do all of the work in my garden, averaged out at 9k, ended up ordering all of the materials for £1800 and me and my brother in law did the work ourselves in the space of a week.:boggle: | |

Labouring is the way forward, people just think they can charge a fortuune for doing something any old monkey could do. | |

£2.50-£3 a meter if you do it yourself | |

Yeah guess so, was just hoping somebody would know a ballpark figure. | |

With the price of (even shitty!) general labourers these days they'll charge some silly amount to do it at a guess. | |

easy as piss to lay it yourself, someone would no doubt cost the earth to do it though! | |

Anybody know the going rate per m2? Also how much would it usually cost for somebody to lay it? About 50m2 in total.:thumbs: |
