Day work meterage

[MW Smith Ceramics]

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

I'd say that sounds about right Kyle for a professional finish.......40m2 per day, never heard of that one in 18 yrs unless a 2 man job then yes possibly .....

9-13 sqm a day if you want to make good days money.Today finished bathroom 500x 200 ceramic tiles 23 sqm,started at 8 o'clock and finished at 3 o'clock.

Straight walls then & perfectly flat?

I think the easy answer has already been said .
Is 5m2 ok to do day in day out , the answer is no .extreamly simple really 😉

I think it all depends on the state of the walls, tiles you're working with......

No offence MW, but if you are turning out 5m2 day in day out you want to give up and stack shelves 😉
Like has been said, probably about 2million 500 hundred of 50 bloody times
"5METRE SQUARE IS FINE NOW AND AGAIN, BUT 5M SQAURE ,DAY IN DAY OUT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, IT IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE , ITS LIKE A JOINER HANGING ONE DOOR, A PLUMBER HANGING ONE RAD, A PLASTERER STICKING ON ONE BOARD, A BRICKY LAYING 3 BRICK OR A ELECTRICIAN SWEEPING UP, OK the last ain't ever gonna happen, ITS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE 😡😡😡😡

If a tilers doing 5m2 a day put him on a price per m2.......you will soon see an increase in work...🙂

Crikey widler !......calm down!.....my post was meant as how many metres a day ( not 5 metres a day ) depends on the state of the walls or floors your tiling on.....my mistake there no need to bite my head off !!!......and yes I agree if any tiler is knocking out 5 metres per day then a career change would be about the only option......& by the way I voted no it's not enough........hope you,ve calmed down now any way

Outsiders point of view/opinion, incoming. It may upset a few people. But I don't really care. what are you gonna do? hunt me down? Its just that seeing other peoples arrogance towards the OP has seriously wound me up a bit. Especially as this is a trade i'm wanting to go into. If its a job thats going to turn me into as much of an arsehole as some of these posters, I'd rather not bother. Give the guy a break.

I don't think its down to one tiler to decide what is acceptable to another. Each to their own. What works for you? What are you charging the customer, per day or per metre? whats your level of experience? what training did you have?

All irrelevant....... one question dictates it all..... can you do a job that a customer is happy with and is willing to pay your rates?

Is the customer aware that you will be slower than the next guy, but only because you take the extra time to make sure its spot on and 100% perfect?

I now await the barrage of people saying "I can do 40 a day and still get it perfect".....

You can have my reply before you even say it.... "really??? Thats amazing. You have won your prestigious bragging rights. Your boast has been heard loud and clear. Hope you're happy that you've made other people feel completely inadequate. Your willy is obviously bigger than everyone else's and maybe thats why you have to wear your red underpants on the outside of your trousers. Maybe you should be the only tiler on the planet cuz you're the only one capable of doing it. Get on with your own job and leave others to do theirs."

Its not a competition. Its not a race. The customer has to live with it for a long time. they would rather it be right than rushed. As long as you are honest with the customer about how you work, its for no-one else to judge.

I'm practising to become a tiler. To start with I'm going to be slow. If I was to go on my first job and only do 5m2, would you still tell me I should be stacking shelves? or would you give me the benefit of the doubt because all I wanna do is get it right and get paid?
