You will get a phone call in a couple of weeks,
Hi can you come & look at these tiles for me please as they feel loose & there's grout coming out the joints!!
Oh & they sound hollow when I tap them but the are solid sounding in the corners & one bit in the middle..

Just coz he is cheaper does not always dictate a tiler is a cowboy , some are dropping prices to keep in work.

Cannot see how you can shout cowboy etc.

Cheap tilers are always going to be about , it is your choice if you wish to join them.

Im inclined to agree with you on that one Dave, i am seeing prices around the midlands dropping a bit as well.

He might get it done in 2-3days. It might even take him all week
after materials, £350 /3 = £116 per day (gross).

I'd rather earn that than sit at home waiting for a quote to be accepted at £35m2

And quality Lee!!

I always say to customers when a job can be done for that price either the materials are inferior/wrong or the quality of the workmanship will not be of the standard required, or both!!!!!!
