I'm not taking it to heart trust me, when I take things to heart I get angry & want to start ripping people apart but it won't happen on this occasion, your too far away!!

Seriously Brian, you must at least know something about tiling after all these years.

Happy Christmas.

And I thought Eubanks/Benn was an epic, can we just say that people do things differently, but end up with the same result. Stef, can't agree with you more, it's exactly the way I do it. Brian carry on doing it your way, it works for you.

Now fill my glass back up again

Buying one in the January sales, getting 10% off..

I used to price on metre. Not anymore.

I also measure and add 10% for cuts. (20% if diamond)

Regardless of price.......if the customer accepts your price, that's it! Weather it's £500 or £1000, they have accepted, regardless of wot others think.

How many times have you had jobs where the customer actually has the tiles already.
They measure themselves, on the back of a *** packet, the supplier works out that they need 20m.......so they sell them 20m.......and then your short, and have to wait until they get more.

I for one add the 10 or 20% for cuts/wastage........and that's wot I charge for.

Each to their own.

I have also always told customers to have a few "spares" just in case some numptie cracks a tile putting up that flashy bog roll holder years later.

It works for me.........and I keep busy. So I must be doing something right.

Happy Crimbo all you bums.

 

[Bubblecraft]

Wow, that escalated quickly. Lol.

Back to the Op, I don't work for other builders/contractors so cannot comment on that. I ain't even going to jump on the band wagon on this one...just putting in my 10%

Merry Christmas guys & gals!

 

[John Benton]

Have you charged for that 10% Gus or just doing it for nowt

 

[Brian the Tile]

Maybe you need to make some cuts first
