[James Sutton]

Hi all

In the city of London there is load of work going on ive had a few weeks where ive worked 7days a week. Also theres agencys that can you find you work i think you just gotta no where to look. It just makes are trade what is a difficult trade to prove youself in sound dead which it isnt.

Well Malcolm as an ex Londoner, you should well be aware of the old saying that 'if you're tired of London, then you're tired of life', well mate |I am well and truely tired of London.

Well gents even if I did land a job in London it would have to be fantastic pay. Not because its working away or that I'm greedy. It's the price of travel and accommodation, specially in London.

At a guess what would you say a weeks b&b, taxi's/parking, food and travel 440 miles round trip from Leeds would cost? Then on top of that bring home money to pay the mortgage bills etc! The good old days of working away like this are well and truly finished seeing as agencies and companies alike are paying less than £15 ph with no overtime rate or bonuses. As the title says "no work out there".

Average agencies price around Leeds £11-14 ph. What's the going rate in London? Is it still worth the expense?

Paul and Newsome,

You aren't looking in the right places, there is loads of work in Leeds but you need to go looking for it.
Get some door knocking done in offices and warehouses etc, what about ringing rental agencies up, in another couple of months the student houses will start to empty and work will come available, I have already got a full July and August with PIR's in and around Headingley.

I am nothing out of the ordinary, and if i am busy then anyone can be.

If you are quiet it is because you want to be, sorry to be so blunt, but i cant word it any other way.

Cheers.........Howard

No need to be sorry to me about being blunt Howard. I must be looking in the wrong places lately as nothing seems to be out there but only this morning I got a call that has made my day, fingers crossed that it turns out to be a good few months work.

The going rate for agency work around london is good around £18.00 ph all depends on the agency and company your working for sometimes you can be on alot more per hour. I think its best to get with a company and get on the big contracts as the work is safe and you know your get ya money at the end of the month
