fast tiling

[Brian the Tile]

Tis true , we all know how much a solicitor charges add how much do mechanics charge?customers are paying for our experience and I have always found that they are glad when the job is done quickly and then they can have their house back and you out of the way good job well done thankyou

And it doesn't matter if you have given your customers a price and they accept it whether you are there one day or ten days as long as the price doesn't alter

just been catching up with this thread and it seem to be moving towards a discussion about pricing a job and if fixed price ,might the client think too expensive if done very quickly.
For myself if i employ anyone to do work at my house i do get a few quotes and make my decision based not just on price but how they come across about doing job.i do probably work out in my head what chosen contractor may have earnt for the job but i have made my decision and i wont get stressed about it .
but it does bring up an interesting question which may have been debated before .
this being that i do not believe that a good tiler time served or not should ever give a day rate with the exception of taking up an old floor and not knowing how to make good till subfloor revealed before you can retile.
I will start a new thread as i dont want to hijack this one and expalin why i think this way>

i would just like to add to all to make sure you have your knee pads on no matter what or how small the job is ,i should have listened to that swine of a boss when i was younger
