Work start & finish times

[High Peak Tiling]

Egnoring timing on gear and materials/primers/sealers application.

what times do you start & finish? (If on a job which wil take longer than a day)
Obviously if the customer specifies then the work time 'is what it is'

 

[Andy Allen]

I start at 8am and finish between 4-5pm....unless I got to get the kids from school, then finish a bit earlier..

I can start travelling from 05.30 at times not getting back until after 19.00, not too rare not so long ago, a working day is what you have got to do in that day.

 

[Ian]

Leave the house about 7.15 to get to work around 8. Leave at 4 and get home about 4.45, which is about now!

I start when i get there and i finish when i have had enough... the joys of being ya own gaffer

 

[Gazzer]

I start at a convenient time to the client and finish at a point that I am either finished or need to stop. No real hard and fast answer.

I don't have a set time. Today it was half 8, finished at about 3. Drive down to Surrey around lunchtime on Sunday and will work right through the night. Sometimes I work half a day other times I'll work 24 hours straight through....... Never a set pattern

I like to be at a residential job for 8.30.
Site work is 8am, so sometimes meant leaving at 4am to get onsite in time.

be it on site or residential job I like to be wrapping up the day at 3pm and making sure I'm in the van by 3.30-4pm

I live in London and traffic is a nightmare no matter what time I start or finish. I like to be governed by the client. Makes life so much easier.

 

[nybor62]

joking aside on commercial jobs will work through the night to get done if need be
