Car Showroom 160m2 Floor

[Peter]

Us NI boys could only dream at the thought of £17 per metre on a commercial job. :drool5:

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Those rates have bombed in the last 3 years if £17 is being offered. Mine was £30 all day long and never had an issue. Very strange for it to be tile on tile, I would not do it. You have to give a written guarantee when its finished.
Schulter expansion joints are the norm and you have to fit the curved trims, these are screwed down every 400mm. We did all the cuts ourselves on the curved areas the same as Merle. I would at least try to lift a few tiles before starting to inspect the floor beneath.
Are you contracting to Adonis construction ?

Not on the board / director of the car dealer are you Tubs ? - sounds way too cheap to me. I'd lift all the old tiles - then leveller as required and when the jobs complete - provide the usual warranty certificate. Schulter Exp joints aren't cheap ! I know it's big, but I would have thought £25 / m more the ticket. [All addy.grout etc inc] More would be better, but at present with 'ard times m8 - that said you can end up being busy and broke if your not careful.
Not sure how others do it, first off look at your costs and then work forward.

When I was learning the ropes we did a few floors for Mercedes, and I laboured. One was a 600m floor, everything was ripped out, 30+ bags of latex and it was tiled. Pillars everywhere, and an island office/meeting room cube in the middle. I think 3 large mat wells aswell.

Take your time setting out, and check repeatedly everything is still on target so to speak. Go in with whatever price you feel comfortable with, bearing in mind a fast tiler and a good labourer (and on a perfect surface) should be able to get 50m + in a day if its big open areas. So you will make good money regardless, but dont be too cheap. Ask for what you want mate.
