Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

The less you involve other trades in your work, the better. I prep all my own work and take on extra other work including joinery / plumbing. Why? Because then I can only let myself down. No wonder peoples schedules get messed around waiting on other people doing these silly little jobs.

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

If I was a kitchen fitter who had to wait on on tiler tiling floor before I went back to fit plinths I'd be inclined to just tile the floor myself.

Lol....or he could just cut them down before he finishes....simples..:thumbsup:

Yes, most of the time he could. Q: do you ply your own floors, sheet your walls if required, remove old floor boards or reinforce old joists? Or build stud wall...Or do you just tile?

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

Why leave yourself open to more reasons for them not to pay you!
As Andy said damage a plinth on a £10k kitchen, it could be £800 from BQ without the plastic cover trim or a £35k hand painted one; in which case they would let you near a saw ( even at £29.99 ). And have you seen the cost of some of these doors?
For me I'd charge for any joinery preparation work that's going to be covered by tiling, but 2nd/ finishing joinery is done by others.
