Cheeky mate he is...

I read it as everything!

 

[bugs183]

Too cheap, thats at least a two day job, and you're supplying everything.
The 'mates rates' thing is always awkward. I tend not to do it, as you can be sure something will go wrong or they still moan as above.
Don't worry about, some people would want a discount if it was free!!!

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Inc ady grout and seal

 

[Qwerty]

What quality are the tiles & where from?

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Unfortunately b and q

Unfortunately b and q

...... You should be glad you over priced it

Lol

 

[Qwerty]

I just totted up quickly and all in I made it just under a grand (£500 for tiles!)

 

[AliGage]

Did you include a decoup? I couldn't do it for that.

Tiles, adhesive, de-coup, grout, treatments and labour id be about 700/800 mark at best!.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

No decoup in price. The guy is ripping up old floor latexing

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Dunno, £500 / 12m = £41.66m2. Not bad for a mates rate. Even at 2.5 days its a wage. I'd be more interested in the floor prep and the quality of it though

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

He won't be paying for latex as his brother owns a builders merchants so floor prep will be bang on.

 

[Peter]

Not sure what materials priced at but with no decoupler I'd say 70 quid would more than cover it. Still handy money for a day and a half's work.

 

[gamma38]

Way too cheap, the fact it's a mate should have no real bearing on price, i do work for mates but i always have "the chat" before i price and or do the work. Mates first but as soon as work and money are on the table mates no longer come into it. You have to put food on the table so why drop your trousers???? it isn't worth it. Cheap work and prices are no good anyone can be a busy fool.....

Just my take on things...

 

[Peter]

What would the going rate be for labour only with no Ditra on the mainland?

 

[Stef]

I was looking through this thread & I need to get my prices up.

£500 for 12m2 of travertine..

I would be £400 at a push.

If it included adhesive / grout and sealer ... then i could do it for that easy enough for a floor if it was flat enough to tile with rectified stone.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

Plus its b and q tiles so no guarantee that they are square lol

 

[Ian]

I agree Stef/Dave, there's only a day a halfs work there at the most, provided the floor is in good nick. £400 would be the most I'd charge.
