I struggle to get lads to sweep up fetch carry and mix for £10 an hour . To answer Khriss bricklayers are in clover at the moment £500 plus per thousand and £15 a meter for blockwork  top end lads are easily achieving 60-80k

 

People always seem to inflate wages on here.. It might well be twice that of an arb but not an easy £60-80K

Yup Bankhouse , an not suprised - working on infrastructure an housing - all crucial. ( so what the hell are we arb playing at ?)

 

Spud, it's the amount of clueless managers who don't see that ! I saved boss thousands, not even a good bottle at Christmas. Poor management.

Brilliant.  That website also has categories for "Tree Killer" and "Tree Deadener"... sadly no average salary info

Where can I apply for the ‘Tree Deadener’ position please?

I've seen your RJs. I thought you already had the job.

I don't intend to sound like I am inflating wages but that is what the big sites are having to pay especially the housing sites I do feel you arb lads work very hard for your money harder than most brickies who have telehandlers and ready mixed mortar to hand. I did say top earners the average for trades and this is subcontract plasterers £140 joiners £180-200 brickies £180 -225 thisis day rate for self employed.

I feel the £7.50 an hour is really a lot less than half what a climber is worth but there is always someone out there who needs a job and would be happy to work for this but I would say they will be few in number. I do think it is about time skilled trades got what they are worth rather than the guys with the suits

If a mate of mine is telling me right, no reason to doubt him, he's on £450/thousand bricks laid. £14/metre on block work. Sounds like brickies are having it away ATM.

That's what a local tree firm are offering on the local jobcentreonline for a climber with CS38, £300 a week, Tesco pay more for shelf stackers! Why would anyone spend a couple of grand on tickets just to earn that sort of money? I'd have to hide my face in shame while handing over a wage like that to someone who's just spent all week with a chainsaw in their hand, I honestly couldn't look them in the eye. Surely an employer knows what sort of money can be made in tree work, and that a climber could make that in a day doing homers? I was going to approach him about sub work, don't think i'll bother now. Sorry rant over

 

Some climbers are only worth £300 a week while others can be on £1000 , you wont find the grand a week climbers looking for work in a job center either. Strange that
