Commercial or Housing sectors
Most of the work we do now is commercial mainly hotels and care homes, we used to do loads for the housing sector but that has all but dried up for us to the point we have had no offers of work in the housing sector for ages.
Out of curiosity what sectors do you find most of your work?www.dryliningfinisher.co.uk

Mine is 99% housing, but over the last 2 years even though I have kept going the prices have seriously dropped your better off where you are. Seriously thinking of getting in touch with old contacts to get back into the commercial stuff even though it would take me away from home.

Commercial mainly. I hate doing houses, unless they are big fancy things.

At the moment i would say its 50/50 between houses and commercial, the money in houses has dropped to a point where your doing things for next to nowt.

50/50 I would say but at £1 a square metre I wouldn't dirty my tools :-(

Commercial - office fit outs and shops better rates and runs. Never do houses really but lately people are going mad about insulation and as there is little work about gotta take what i can get.Insulated slabs in a lived in house is an awkward messy nightmare but at least the housewives cook me breakfast sometimes!

Both commercial and housing for me, although the rates are down on the houses I do I find i'm doing 6 days work for 5 days money, doesn't bother me though as at least I am working rather than sitting at home earning £0!
Been on a new nursing home for a couple of weeks now near Minehead, should be there for approx 3 months, got a good deal on accomodation at a local pub, £25 per night inc. an evening meal and I can walk to work!"YOUR PRIUS JUST SAVED ALL THE PETROL MY MUSTANG USED!"
