Messiest trade - who do you think?

Brushed this out of a bathroom today. Spark and plumber.

The two sites ive been working on lately i have all trades around me sparks plumbers chippies with no issues everybody seems to know what a dust pan and brush is and if there is an issue left from another trade just tell the labourers lol

What even in upstairs bathroom, yes ok I accept the reason being damp onto a solid floor but not if its wooden as some plasterers still dont go down to the floor maybe its just habit but it does bug me

I suppose its just something thats just been done.
We did it in the 80s , especially with limemotar or browning/bonding it would suck any water right up the wall if we plastered down to the floor

As above, it was standard procedure...

A good tradesman always clean up after himself.

I an be a messy lad when working but always try and tidy my work area at every break time I put my boxes and adhesive bags straight in a rubble sack but never bin my cuts as I always expect I will use them somewhere so I keep the wastage to a minimum but I would say tilers are up there with the messiest trades

Sparkies without a doubt!!!, I still keep my hand in at plastering and once a sparky said, "bloody hell, you make a mess" so I showed him my floor scraper and asked if he knew what it was, he said "yes" so then I showed him my sweeping brush and said "...but you'll have no bleeping idea what this is will ya!"

Spreads ... Not a shadow of a doubt

Spreads ... Not a shadow of a doubt

I used to hate cleaning up when I was a apprentice , none of this caber boards ,Nicely screwed down and using a floor scraper,it was bloody floorboards,curled from damp ,nail heads everywhere( not screws like now) and a bent shovel to scrape,took ages to get the drops up,and browning was the worst,it stuck everywhere ,and mixing 30/40 bags a day you can imagine how much mess there was 🙁

Dry wall adhesive is the worst....
