5th job Blues....am I a rouge tiler......?

[White Room]

Got to honest I've never earn't that kind of money in a week on domestic Captain, £150 a day tends to be the tops

I hear you Whitebeam, and I would agree that you should be able to easily charge £150 a day. I usually estimate wall tiling with a similar figure in mind but find that a floor in excess of 40 sqm is when you can start to make good money. For example, I'm doing a porcelain floor this week which is 40 sqm in an Opus Romano pattern. I installed 'lectric UFH on Monday and will have it tiled by end of week clearing around £1200 after materials.

The jobs are out there and you just need to be lucky in finding them I guess.

Sounds quite a trend for new tilers to get a real stinker of a job very early on :lol: , happens to us all

yes if you do floor captain then i see your point and i do price accordingly most of the last domestic jobs have been trickier than i thought

Hey guys, just another quick post to say thanks for all those offering advice and support - I even got an offer to go and work for a few days with a Tiler - fairly near me which is great.

I have taken on board all that has been said and decided to wipe my mouth and get on with it - I know I'll never forget that job which will be enough to stop me making the same mistakes again.

I'm currently on a kitchen and will post some pics when done!

Cheers again folks!:yes:
