Day work meterage

[widler]

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

Calm as a cucumber, im just like saying how life really is 😉

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?

Again, 5m2 is acceptable now and again , day in day out , no its not .
if you can't turn out 5m2 most days you may as well stack shelves.
And call me a arsehole again i will find you and shove my tongue down your neck 😉

For ANY employer sharon , would you be happy if you were mosaicing a straight flat 50m2 wall or floor and he/she who was working for you took ten days just for that ?
And none of this ' if he was making a good job' because thats no way to run a firm.
Like i said above , 5m2 IS acceptable now and again, but day in day out week in week out he/she would be sacked

If,if,if. Too many variables. The question 'is 5m2 ok?' is far to vague to give a yes or no answer, it needs to be more specific.

Is 5m ok if u have one arm and have to wear leg splints and have a glass eye ?
