Hello mate,
I started out on my own in november im still trying to get the knack of the estimates myself. Just try to get the work to start. As you wont be as fast as an experienced tiler you cant charge top end. Try and make sure that you make up for being slow by being quality. Good Luck and just keep on keeping on!
Rates vary from area to area which is why i say get to know your competition. Plus we are not allowed to talk £££ here
You will be quoting against time served tilers and as such you will find they will be getting better discounts than you at 1st. the more you buy from your supplier the better chance of getting better discounts from them.
You will also find that you may be pricing too high at 1st due to you not being able to tile areas as quick as time served tilers.
It will be hard at 1st but if you are willing to work hard and long hours it will all come good in the end.
When quoting ."NEVER" give the price there and then but always get it written out and to the client ASAP.
You need time to work measurements out. Find out prices of materials/Tiles...maybe you have to park on a pay and display or travel long distances...all these things will be coming out of your pocket.
