Expensive stone, tile fitting.

hmmmm £100.00 a metre ? No, i'm at the high end of Stone, installing for stonemasons, high end builders, property developers aswell as private clients, on a large meterage project you would not compete or get it, on a small room, where the days / meterage doesn't work, you could convert it back to £100.00 a metre but not as a rule, the average is £40 trade and £50.00 retail, more for mosaic stone work and bespoke, you can get away with it for a project or two, but not regularly, you'd lose more leads than business you gain, and if you have your usual suspects that provide you with multiple projects a year, you wouldn't mug them off with a dodgy price, or risk losing them. Retail only maybe, but they're one offs and then you're continuously seeking work, and not relying on recommends.. just my point of view

This looks like same stone as previous pictures but the distressing is diabolical.
looks like someone has just swung a hammer or chisel side ways in to edges at random two or three times at any edge, causing large scallops of stone to break off.
then the grouting in grey accentuates the problem.
is this English stone or Portuguese.they can look similar.
