    Cost of laying 1000x1000mm limestone tiles

    Hi all, I have quoted for a job using 600x600mm tiles (240 metres) and now the tiles have changed to 1000x1000mm tiles (20mm thick). I'm difficulty quoting for this now as it will take two tilers to lay each tile. Any advice on how much to charge per metre? Many thanks, Ben.
