I went to price up a 65m2 floor last friday when a private customer got my number through a recommendation from the tile supplier and arrived on site to by met by the builder, he was in the process of laying a floating chipboard floor over ufh in the extension and told me he intended to prepare the tiled area in the same manner ,I suggested he needed to rethink the prep work and put a minimum of 65mm of screed over the ufh if he wanted the tiling job to last longer just a few weeks ,I went over how I thought the floor should be prepared and asked him to call the supplier of the ufh system and the tile supplier to confirm what I was telling him was correct after giving him a very competitive price for the floor tiling he asked me to look at the bathrooms which were in the loft with loads of beams and angled ceiling with several tile sizes to consider and a wet room shower floor ,he asked me how much I would do the bathrooms for and I told him I would send him a price over for the floor and the bathrooms,
I got a call from him to today and he said" Gary thanks for the price ,I am going to tile the floor myself and I will get one of my lads to have a go at the bathroom but can you do the shower room " I didnt know whether to laugh or cry he has decided that the shower room is far too awkward for him and his blokes to tackle and wants to get me to do it while they do the easy stuff ,I know there is a recession on but I feel like telling him to go west and do the awkward shower room himself especially when he asked me to give him the same meterage rate that I quoted for the kitchen floor :yikes:
