When I turn up with my tile cutter in my Ferrari then they may ask questions hahah I done my courses to give me some stability and obs for a career change the more I'm doing the more jobs I'm getting and want to get it rite personally pricing up is the hardest part!!!

 

[Old Mod]

And it don't get any easier haha
I still second guess myself everyday!
It sounds like you're moving in the right direction tho Terry.
Just be stubborn like me!
U'll crack it eventually.

 

[terrycoe1]

I feel a lot more positive now cheers for the advice etc spot on geeze

 

[Old Mod]

Kool, I'm glad u feel a bit more positive mate, cos it's all about confidence. It'll come through when u speak with potential clients, if u put them at ease and don't come out with phrases like " oh don't worry my love we'll have these slapped down in no time!"
Believe it or not that very phrase won me the contract over the numpty that said it! ......it was worth nearly £9 grand!
Customer is king! Until they're not! Haha

£290 for 8m2 conservatory. ....is that in London?
Would be pricing that at £180 to £200 down here including the adhesive and grout....about half a days work.

 

[Dan]

Yeah I'd like to think that's a day. Not sure on price I'd stay out of that I don't price for tiling. Obviously.

But I've done a fair few conservatories and I'd say it's a day. I couldn't see many reasons it'd run into two days.

To be honest, ive tiled a 4m2 floor today, i tiled it by 10, then i had to take plinths and door down to my mrs unit( got a few machines ) cut them down, went back, grouted , put timber back and was finished by 4, i did a few more bits, so i charged a day plus bits, so 8m2 could easiely go into 2 day.
We need to cover outselves

Its a conservatoy floor. ... they tend to be a piece of cake to tile......
And I dont do plinths or doors...

 

[Dan]

I can see both sides here.

It's why it's hard to gauge a price from others sometimes and why quotes can vary so much from tiler to tiler I guess!

 

[Old Mod]

There are way too many variables!
I think one thing that makes it difficult is that no two jobs are ever the same.
What Andy considers to be a conservatory job may be nothing at all like the conservatory jobs I'm used to.
Already there's a massive divide riht there!

Allowing 2 days to tile 8m floor isn't right. That is a day's work, probably an easy day. £280. £20 a bag, £15 for grout -£75 that's £210 in the pocket for a day. Jobs a good en. That's what I would charge too.
