Sarah Bannister Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hi, does anyone know if there is much work for floor layers in Perth? My husband has 25 years under his belt and fits carpet, amtico, karndean, vinyls etc but so far on job sites in WA nothing has shown up! I know it's not on the skilled list anymore but a friend of his (already in Perth) said he's snowed under so considering coming without a job lined up (is this a good idea)??? Any ideas on a floor layers salary????? We would arrive with around £15,000 -- $26,00 ish, how far would this get us with rental and car etc? Thanks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 A lot of trades are self employed here, so that is why you probably cant find much on seek. There is a lot of house building going on and these days most new houses come with flooring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowanFlooring Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Sarah, I'm a floor layer and I have been in the country for 11 days. I've got PR and I've found loads of work already. I had 2 weeks of work lined up before I came over and I've got a few offers of work for when this job is done. There's plenty of work and if ur hubby is hard working and good at his job then I reckon he good make a really good living. Seems to me that there's a lot more opportunities than back home and better money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks x The residential sector is booming and will be for many years to come. Most of the lads are subbies, don't ask what they earn but they are certainly busy. Trevor's Carpets look after the bulk of our work followed by Carpet Call, maybe worth making contact upon arrival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowanFlooring Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Rowan.....did you used to work in the Raised Access Floor trade or still do? Your name rings a bell. No mate. I used to work for Veitchi Edinburgh and they did access but I was always on the top-covering side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowanFlooring Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Did you know pat swift No mate. Some Geordie lads used to come up and do raised access work and I met a guy called Pete (from somewhere in North Yorkshire/co Durham) that did access when I was on a Karndean course. Apart from that I don't know many people in that business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
