Monks Posted August 5, 2018 Report Share Posted August 5, 2018 Hi I have just recently moved to Perth under no illusion that the job market here is anything but great but desperately looking for work. I have had my own plastering business for 12 years but I am prepared to do anything to get a foot in the door. Any help/advice would be really appreciated as things are looking grim for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegg Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I know its not much help and below what you do , But a mate of mine went ceiling board fixing - as no one likes plasterboarding ceilings !!! however he got a lot of work and then got him more contacts and got his name around . I know its not easy ..... but good luck buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wa7 Posted August 6, 2018 Report Share Posted August 6, 2018 I'm not a plasterer but have you looked on gumtree yet ? What suburb do you live in ? if you are north of river get out and about around banksia grove, alkimos, butler, jindalee ( plasterers will be in these areas on new houses ) if you are south look around harrisdale. $25 - $35 hour is about it at the moment Even do a search on builders display homes ( Dale Alcock, Ventura, Blueprint Homes etc) because around the display homes there tends to be building activity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philm1712 Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Which suburb are you living? Have you found any work yet? Is the plastering much different out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthAtHeart Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Hi Monks, are you getting on better? I could post your contact info on an immigrant FB group. They don't usually have tradies in their community and I often see posts asking for tradie recommends. They speak English alright. Pls PM me.
