How many metres a day?

[doug boardley]

I'd get a site visit arranged as well before you commit yourself to a price, it's gonna be multiple rooms and you want to make sure theyre all coming through at same level,by that I mean floors are flat.
ps where's suffolk!? must be south o' lancaster

Good news,
Got a labourer sorted, can always rely on my best mate!
The only info i had on the enquiry email was that the tiles were 300x300, & that he was supplying them & the adhesive. The job is a barn conversion.
Going to find out what adhesive it is that he's got, if it's rubbish then i'll recommend a quality product that i'll supply. Also, i'll have to mention that the floor is likely to need priming & the tiles grouted!!!!!
Will be speaking to him tomorrow, so will have more details then.
Thanks for all your posts guys,
P.s....oldgit..........i'm sure you'd love to come over to suffolk & help.....will you be travelling by combined harvester or tractor:lol:

chelsea tractor actually :lol: cheeky git:lol:

Over the last three and a bit weeks Ive done nearly 197m 600x300 brickbond in Yarm,20m diminishing slate floor in scarbrough, 10m slate in liverpool, 25 m slate diminishing and a 50m ceramic kitchen floor and as far as m per day there is no real way of working it out. Every job is different and you have to keep in mind on big floors, your going to wear yourself out and thats where thing sstart going wrong. Leave plenty of time for setting out as this is of upmost importance. Never under-estimate how long something is going to take to clean off or grout and always.... always give the final finishing off points as much time as it takes to get the job right 😀

Hope this helps somewhet...

Have more info on the job,

He wants it set out in straight set, in multiple rooms.

The tiles are 10mm thick 300x300.(but he's not sure what material the tiles are, but going on what he's said, i think they're porcelain) He's getting bal adhesive & grout, so iv'e informed him to make sure that the correct type is chosen for the floor/tiles material.

The floor is ( apparently, have asked him to check ) sand/cement screed, with wet system underfloor heating already installed.

Apparently the floors are nice & level.

Am looking to go & take a look asap, to check room dimensions/flatness etc.

Anything else that i should find out?

Does this help to answer some my original post?

It's a bit frustrating as i feel the customer is not in a huge hurry to get back with important info that i need & to arrange a time to visit, so please bare with me. probably doesn't see the importance of proper forward planning & will then want it all sorted last minute!

Paul.

first thing id ask is how long ago it was screeded and have they gone through the heat up heat down process as that will take 2 weeks and it cant be turned on until the screed as dried fully.
at least you will then have some sort of time scale of a start date.
