Guest brickie001 Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 Yeh but .......Mids you forgot that them 2 brickies aint no longer layin bricks......and no dig here at woodbutchers but you either cut roofs here(traditional),hang a few doors, or do cabinet work, or the shuttering....end of no skirting generally no frames or arc (us brickies do that)..we currently got a few carpenters working for us and they are gettin$50 an hour but they supply tools,juice to where ever there sent up to 90kms approx,drill bits the lot , we supply the doors and door furniture

TheRammo Posted December 23, 2010 Posted December 23, 2010 My brother in law is a handyman / ceiling installer in Mandurah and has been very busy for years. He can't see an end to the work because of the recent increase in population. Good luck!
eggcatcher Posted December 23, 2010 Author Posted December 23, 2010 Thanks to you all for your replies, it seems to me like if you seek, you find. Unlike here at the moment, We just can't wait to get out there and start our new lives.:chatterbox:

Guest tracentel Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 Hi there, just noticed your from Preston, Lancs. So are we - whereabouts are you from? My OH is a joiner/carpenter also, and we are headed out to Perth in March. No jobs sorted yet so hoping there is work to be had. When are you off ?
Guest lee godsell Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 sorry to barge in lads, but what is it like for plumbing out there. i should be moving out there in september. Cheers.
Guest roofers Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 is there much demand for roofers at the mo?
ali Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Just wanted to say hi to the two prestonians ... I lived in Walton-le-Dale and worked at RPH. Lots of building work in the southern Corridior at the moment - baldives has a lot of development
eggcatcher Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 hi, it's nice to hear someone local is taking the big step too, we are based in leyland. we started our application 2 years ago and only got our state sponsorship in december, so hopefully we'll get the visa in the next few months. I think there is work over there, its just a case of getting the right balance of where to work and where to live.
Guest brickie001 Posted February 12, 2011 Posted February 12, 2011 true there is quite a bit of work about both north & south of perth. Carpentry here is a bit diff from the uk as you will know no frames to do ,rarely skirtings, all the roofs are either steel framing ,but most timber they call em stick roofs here as they are generally traditionally cut and trust me there very fast at them, a bit of studwork but not lots. roofies i would say 50% colorbond and 50% tiles no felt just battened off and tile
