So the first one was too slow, he tried someone else, now he's had to swallow his pride and call you.

Try not to be too smug about it though :lol:

BTW What is ditra going to do with regards to bounce?? How are the floors constructed at the moment?

When I looked first the floor was just joists with ply laid on top so you could walk around. He said that the finish would be polystyrene with 8x4 sheets of "board that you could tile straight onto" his words. I didn't see it at that stage. I am going out again to look and will post some pics. I have tiled onto some really bouncy floating floors in the past that I covered in Ditra and have been amazed at how well it deals with the flexing.

Amazing how they all want to spend £k's on all the materials and fancy expensive accessories but want the labour done for pennies. Why do they not realise when they want a perfect finish they have to pay for it, otherwise it ends up on the TF rogue traders thread!!!!

You wouldn't buy a Bentley and take it to a back street bodger to service it!!!

Not only that john, she had all the doors on and painted up, when i said they will have to come off cos you can't tile over chipboard floors it will have to have cement boards down, she looked at me smuggly and said " well, you can really can't you"
I just smiled and said
"you can,but i can't"
The mood went downhill somewhat after that 🙂

But at my prices I can make £400+ a day. Totally unrealistic to think I could get £1250 a day at the sort of prices you are quoting. I wasn't making that sort of money in the good days when I would quote £25 PSM and get every job I went for.
