I'm changing my username to Brian (the snail)

just one of them jobs m8 all went down in a flash. i surprised my self to tell the truth *

 

[White Room]

Having a good flat floor to start with makes a big difference.

 

[CJ CERAMICS]

Thats still good going deano even if the floor was nice and flat i would still be looking at 3-4 days all in, that said i do like coffee breaks oh and you can quite often see me dancing when a good tune pops on the radio.......sorry no pics or videos...for my eyes (and sometimes the customers) only.

 

[Daz]

That's good going Deano, those Eagle J's can be a nightmare to cut.

 

[DHTiling]

the floor was as flat as they come and the materials was in the next room and the tiles are already sealed*

A long day but that can be done in 1 day easily enough.. but without breaking ya back.. LOL day to tile and grout in the morn.. time for tea and biscuits then.. oh!! sorry Coffee for TJ.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I'd have just got the cafetiere warmed up in the time Deano took!
10 hours for 37metres:yikes:

 

[doug boardley]

...it's only £100 an hour...:drool5::drool5::drool5::drool5:

 

[Mike]

you are absolutely right m8 if i had stayed until five ish yesterday i could have just grouted it today but i would have felt bad taking the chaps cash :lol:* *

 

[DHTiling]

Ye right..:lol:.. job is a job.. take it and be done.

 

[Aston]

as dave said, thats what a really good tiler can do. i always try and have a time ratio on laying tiles. i work against the clock. i think that was bred into me from the plastering because if you hang about and you are in trouble lol..i think its realistic for a decent tiler to be able to fix 4, 600x600 within 15-20 minutes and thats skimming the backs too. obviously as beam said, a flat floor makes alllllllll the difference. i think when you have worked on a site, you are always pushing yourself to do more and more. site and decent money/meters££££'s ;0) breeds a completely different mentality.

great work rate deano ;0) as dave, phil, gary, pjc, tj and the rest of the big hitters on here, top tradesman, massive respect!!!

 

[doug boardley]

nope, just looked at pics again,,,,,still changing my name to Brian (the snail):lol: no way I could do it in 10 hours, (no disrespect intended Dean)

 

[The D]

Ye right..:lol:.. job is a job.. take it and be done.

love it. I do agree but you have to leave them feeling like they got there moneys worth :smilewinkgrin:*

Ye i agree.. grout the next day then,,:lol:

 

[hillhead]

Real good going Deano, i have seen over 100m2 put down in a 8 hour day !
I was labouring to him and felt half dead by 6pm !!
I would take 2 days to complete with nice handy second day !

 

[White Room]

By one man other than yourself ?

 

[hillhead]

Yes, one hell of a speedy tiler.
Seeing is believing.
I had a sore back every day for six months labouring, i was glad to start on my own.

 

[The D]

me and ex Webber Alan Brown did 85m2 in 4 hours at excel about 3 or 4 years ago. *

 

[White Room]

What size tile were they Deano.

 

[hillhead]

Just shows Deano, anything is possible.
I personally know two really quick tilers, i personally prefer a slower pace and enjoy it more.

 

[The D]

What size tile were they Deano.

300 by 300 m8

i was fast in my younger days but i do not class myself as fast now i am tooooooo old and tooooooooooooooo fat.

 

[Gall.B]

10-14 hours for me, like to have tools out for 8 or feel like I'm chasing my tail all day coffee while I lay gag while I grind. As mentioned site mentality. Really good thread dean nice looking floor

 

[Gall.B]

*** while I grind, damn pie phone

 

[GC-Terrazzo]

If i'm on a supermarket i layer around 320m2 a day of terrazzo there 300x300 and we put 25 tons of reddy mix under the tiles every day, thats a 4 man squad 1 tiler 3 labours. We start at 8am and are finished by 5.30 max every night your backs sore, we had 1 boy last year that lasted a day then his mum called that night and said he thinks his back is broke and needs to go to the doctors tomorrow i tryed very hard not to laugh down the phone.
