Tys,
I find this all confusing.
I am in contact with a contractor working on a large grade 2 listed building in central London who is looking for a tiler to take on the jobs that residents are pushing his way. So far there is 4 bathrooms and 3 kitchens to price and they want them priced seperatly.
The father in this company was saying that i should be pricing at the m2 depending on the tile to be used, however, whilst talking to the son, he asked what i need to earn and i said no less than £100 per day, his reply was, nobody goes to work to earn a minimum living, your in it to make a profit, and bumped it straight up to £150-£160 per day (Bloody great). This tells me that they were probably thinking that the tiler would be going in at about the £180-£200 per day mark. These guys are very keen for me to get down there and start putting prices in and making a start, but my nerves are starting to go.
To me it seems that you have to find a respectable in-between, Your in it to make money as much as them.
