Day work meterage

[Flintstone]

A standard bathroom - reasonable walls and floor with approx 25sqm of 60x30 tiles I'd want that done in 3 days personally but I'd charge for more!

I'd be in at £1000 on that inc materials and hoping to do it in 4 days

The thread says general tiling .not 80 m2 floors most house don't have that .I'm a tiler of 20 years is it ok to be questioned on tiling for instance a 15m2 bathroom in a day and charging 500 quid .

Technically it's fine, but always a moral dilemma for some

F1 drivers don't get penalised for finishing first!

When you say on your own, I assume you actually mean on your own and not including a labourer? I'd say 40 sqr in a standard day (8 till 4 for me with about 40 mins break in total) bearing in mind picking and sorting tiles, mixing up, cleaning tools is probably impossible with a quality finish. as for 5sq a day, in a bathroom say with metal trims around a window etc yes but straight forward with reasonable walls you want to be double that really.

I've never worked comercial I've always thought of it as a completely different job to domestic stuff biggest floor I've ever done was 100M 600 x 600 took me 10 days on my own which feels pretty embarrassing if bad boy stef is knocking out 40 a day lol

Still around £300 a day!

A window wall could take me all day tile, so yes 5 m2 in a day is ok!
Is 5m2 ok ,day in day out ? Not on your nelly , you would be down the road quicker than me chasing after Jessica Alba

Still around £300 a day!

Yeah but it's not enough with a serious tool addiction I need more MORE MORE I tell you lol

I'm going to ask again in this thread ?
£40 m2 ,ok no probs , if your knocking out 45m2 a week , easy work for some of you boys , that's 72 grand a year ,that's working teacher weeks (12 weeks hols) so even working normal tradesman weeks, 4 weeks hols and a odd day here and there, still gonna be 72 grand a year.is that not 40% tax ?
And none of this , "we may not have work some weeks"
I've employed 2 lads for over tens years , never been short of work , so if your good your never out of work (hardly)
@timeless john am I getting back to myself yet 🙂

An average isn't on 40 mts per day or 200 mts for a 5 day week. It's on how much you want to earn or how much your getting paid on daily basis. So if your getting £1000 per 5 day week your on £200 per day and @ £20/mt you need to be doing 10 mts a day to justify your wage.
5sq mts in a splashback is a day's work so you'd need to be on £40 a mt to equal that daily rate.
There is no average meterage just average wages, and to that end making sure you earn your wage and a bit of profit for the company.
