What's the going rate for laying Ditra? If there is such a thing!?! Customer is supplying matts, so it's labour only for 165m2..

cheers

Why not charge a day rate.

Because at times there are two of us laying the Ditra, and at other times, just one. Can't be bothered with a time & motion study lol!

Fiver a metre covers it nicely.

Would that be to fix it to the substrate only or does it include the surface preparation prior to tiling?

I'd include priming in that price. I suppose each job is a bit different, the price may go up if there is a lot of cutting to do, I certainly wouldn't go any higher than £6 per metre. From experience I've found that I can comfortably prime and fit 40m + in a day, and that provides a nice wage at a fiver per metre.

Sorry I meant the latexing of the Ditra after installation !

Sorry John, I misread your first post! I use adhesive to fill the cups in the ditra so do it during the tiling.

£5 sounds good if you can get away with it. £400 a day over 2 days work just for laying Ditra. Think you may get chased :lol:

Fiver/M² for me too , any prep prior ( SLC ) is day rate .
