How much do tilers charge? What's the price per Square Meter?

[Dan]

Okay so I'm going to start the ball rolling. I'd like the forum to be handy for all, including those looking for tilers, or even DIY, to see what they're up against compared to a professionally carried-out job.

So let's get this ball rolling.

Let's try and come up with a base rate for tiling work done, in every area in the country. We can generalise a bit while we start off, but perhaps we can edit and re-edit the prices per area, and add more areas that have unique pricing for whatever reason, over time. And publish this publicly when we're happy with it. So traders can see when they're undercutting, and customers hopefully see when they're under paying.

So I'll start this off really generally with a England price, Scotland, Wales, N.Ireland (Ireland too separate in Euros perhaps? as we do have Irish on here), then of course London (central then outskirts maybe?).

I'll also need a bit of a list of what might be priced differently compared to other tiles or whatever.

(Please add other areas to this list if you're from there and it's way off the average)

Can people please copy and paste their own area in this, and give a bit of a guide. We can get an average then, and edit the bits to make it actually useful.

Then we can frown upon those who go below it and praise those who go above it (no frowning or praising allowed).​

I have said in the past I would love to carry less tools on my van and the only tools to carry are tiling tools but sadly it ain't so

They always cry about the price lol, but the fact your getting some big stuff in gives me hope I can push some here, Andover is always a bit behind so hopefully can get it going a bit here soon

Thats a conspiracy he needed to get out of his contract with Graham Chapman because he wanted to go tiling in andover

People go into Tile shops and get sold what they get sold if they go in a shop that pushes a lot of large format that's what they will probably buy .

Jim Clarke is now living the dream

Impish, that's all well and good and I understand where your coming from but it depends on what jobs you are doing, I'm sure a lot of tilers, myself included do jobs for all manner of contacts as well as my own jobs and normally you walk into a room that has been prepared by the fitter, or skimmed by the plasterer or whatever. Ripping bathrooms out is something I seriously dislike

I hate ripping out too! But I equally hate having to tile onto other trade's prep.
That's why I'm so "stuck-up" about what I'll tile onto. I suppose I'm fortunate really that I can dictate to a large degree how I want things done - my way.

If the jobs allow that level of prep that's great but a lot of the time, the budget doesn't stretch to all new walls
