you don't mention the height of the door but try typing 'doors galore' into google. We've just started buying our doors from them, huge range, competative prices and great service.

Has anyone come into contact with PFAMedia, based in Liverpool?

Did you put 2 coats of plaster on? May explain the holes you mentioned.

trim the door........... :shock:

Plasterboard and skimming the walls is a good economic and timesaving option. If you don't want the hollowness of plasterboard onto the walls then they could apply a bonding coat to the brickwork and finish with a couple of coats of mutifinish. This would be more time consuming and expensive but...

Will definetly be looking at Abbey and Alliance and Leicester, thanks everyone.

Thanks for your thoughts - we are actually a Ltd company, vat registered etc, so need to look at business banking. I'll get on the net again, or talk to our accountants - blimey they're expensive too..................

Crikey you use Sage - I'm very impressed - I consider myself to be fairly bright but I could not fathom out Sage :oops:

This is what we charge in our area - this is a very simple example of course. Generally the bathroom is stripped out, all wall tiles removed. Replaster walls, reroute pipe/waste runs, retile walls, tile floor then final fit of sanitaryware.

To remove an old suite and fit a new w.c. , bath and basin - no tiling about £750 plus vat labour only.

Have you any experience with plastering? Indeed you can break the job down into small sections but you always have the problem with blending in the joins. As has been explained on this forum many times you can indeed blend in the joins with a bit of effort and patience - but as a pro you would...

After years with a Natwest business account and paying their extortionate charges I want to make the move to a different account. Have tried looking on the web and they all seem robbing bu--ers to me, but there must be one out there thats better than my present provider. So the question is...

What are you doing for the other two days then ........................ :D

As suggested scaffold board will give a good platform to work from - I usually sit the boards on milk/beer crates, they're light and easy to move around. One thing I would suggest when doing a ceiling as a novice wear some sort of eye protection 8) - maybe it was just me but when I first...

Thanks for all your replies, glad to know I'm not alone with these issues. Anyway will be contacting the customer to appologies that due to the current work load I will unfortunately not be able to take on the work. At last I feel free to do what I want to do.................. :D

Ok, this has happened a few times over the years and I still don't know the right way (if there is one) of letting a customer down. You price the job, they accept the quote, you're stacked out with work and you've only priced it in the first place as a mate has recommended you. Now in the...

Get another quote, and then you'll know :wink:

Good luck for the future. One question I have, who are your target customers? I'll put this as delicately as possible, but are you hoping to corner a niche market of single female customers. Market research has shown that even in this day of so called equality people still tend to think of most...

Won't they all be busy with insurance jobs after all that flooding? :shock:

PVA the wall prior to skimming it over though.
