Limestone job?

[PJ Tiling]

Happy Sunday people,

I've been to look at a job this weekend, bit of a jump in what I'm used to but really excited at the opportunity hence why I'm after some help.

The job is a huge farmhouse. 170m2 of 600x750x20 limestone on screed with wet ufh. Price to include ditra 9 rooms, fix stone, grout, seal and come back and reseal again once all other trades are complete. There is also a stone staircase into a basement to tile and in 7 of the 9 rooms there are up lighters in the corners to be cut into the stones.

All materials sourced by me but customer is paying before job.

I have a price in my head but I'm curious to see how close I am?

Moved to pricing forum.

 

[PJ Tiling]

Thank you, I did click job pricing but for some reason my computer said no

 

[Ian]

So is it just a labour price you're after or fixing materials as well?

 

[PJ Tiling]

Just labour

 

[Ian]

£35 per m for fitting the stone and £5 per m for the ditra so, £6800 total.

Sounds like a lovely one to get mate. I did 200 metres of Limestone 600x600x20 running through 6 rooms about 2 years ago. If i remember right it was aabout 5 grand, have looked everywhere to find the invoices i sent him but i think i have deleted them! I can't remember if that included adhesive but i can remember getting 50 bags of Niccobond PTB for £800. so give or take a grand off that £5000 anyway.

But for yours you have got to be looking anywhere in the region of £7000 - £9000 i'd say mate.

PS i didnt have ditra to do on my job

Exactly how i worked it out....... i would put a couple hundred on for the stairs too

 

[Spud]

170 m2 of stone
170m2 ditra
28 holes drilled
5 coats of sealer
flight of stairs
I would be around 10k labour only

Difficult to know how to price not knowing what the go is in your area.is the job supplied by Stoneage in Bristol? As a guesstimate if you are a good stone fixer and local job I would say 9k inc 28 holes/lay ditra and cover/fix grout and seal stone .this is labour only.

Bri you haven't added on the hole drilling and fixing of staircase.think you are probably right about labour fix cost but I would charge a bit more for fixing ditra even down west plus Adair labour and holes

So I didn't get the job. Best price he got £24m2 :yikes:

Your kidding!!!! Price led customer, your probably better off without it TBH mate if thats how he works.

 

[PJ Tiling]

Tell me about it mate. I couldn't believe it, apparently the people doing it are a shop fitting company.

Bet they don't do the staircase or ditra in with that!
