M2 per day

[MTiler]

probably why most tiling done by builders is pants, theyve rushed it.

 

[Polishtradesman]

In my opinion is all about surface preparation and it is hard to find a avarage amount of sq m per day. It depends on so many things.

 

[hillhead]

You are right Polish, surface prep or even 100% level floors and walls help us really well
and give us the chance of good m2 and money.

 

[White Room]

As above, so many variables on each job..

 

[CJ]

Tell him to Jog on................don't rush to keep him happy.

Go at your own pace...........To keep "YOU" happy.

 

[Muse2k8]

As polish says it depends on way too many variables.

 

[Gazebo]

Tell the builder to put the kettle on and watch how it should be done.

quality sometimes takes a little time.

No exact science to laying m2. On Thursday I had laid a 15m kitchen floor in an hour and a half because the screed was good, then on Friday it took a good bit longer to do a 9m large format hall.

How long would the 33 metre floor take most forum members? There's the old saying round here that there's no work in an Englishman. :lol:

Bing bang bosh where's my dosh.

I have a saying for peeps like you.

15m2 in hour and a half........:lol: do all irish folk exaggerate.........or is your watch slow and it really took a day and a half..

 

[Peter]

Easy done if all walls are square and you don't encounter any awkward checks with a flat floor. A neat job can still be achieved with speed. Of course the same amount of work can take a day in different circumstances. 12m doesn't usually go down that quick for me, was just stating that you can do serious metreage in a day in the right conditions. Any of the guys who do shop floors will know a squad can get a few hundred metres a day down with a good system.

 

[lukeb]

any way, the builder dropped some little remarks today, I think you may have heard them, your slow, how long.....two weeks?

Can not rush perfection.............

Hiya! My first Tilers Arms reply.
33m2 is going mate so don't let him stress you, he's probably jealous because in his mind he's worked out what you've earnt.
So as long as he can fit his kitchen when you agreed then there's is nothing he can say.
I'd turn the radio up (preferably to something he doesn't like), and get stuck into the job.

job was done, took six days in all, done an on suite in travertine,, a moan by the builder on price, and now two days left on a main bathroom, enjoying it, but I've become a bit slow due to age!! my van was broken into last week and lost many bits, but the main gear was luckily at the job.
