Price check on 1st supply and fix

[brian c]

cut to the chase m8...how much for everything mats,tiles,labour,waste?are you thinking of charging?

remember you will have to wait for your money and you will be out of pocket for maybe upto 3 months depending on how the payment terms are.

 

[Prem Tiler]

Your price £1174.39 less
Tiles £623 = £551.39 Less SLC 11 bags @ ?, lets say £12 = £132 = £419.39.

About 7 bags of Adhesive ? approx £90

leaves you £329.39 for one day levelling plus laying 30 m2 of tiles .

Are you happy with that ???

That price was what I worked out the materials inc tiles at retail price. tile giant sell kerraquick 20kg @ £31 but charge me £** with my Tilersforums discount. would you charge more than home insurance what you pay for it or what it costs joe public?

I think I'm a bit confused.

 

[Gazzer]

I think you are confusing everyone Dean.

if you get the job charging those prices then fair enough bud as i said before,you will have to wait for your money.rrr:

 

[Gazzer]

Why buy adhesive from TG and then Leveller from Topps ??

 

[Thespanishtiler]

labour £ ?

 

[Colour Republic]

Charge list price for your materials and some people add a little bit more if it's for an insurance job purely because you have to wait a decade to get paid, but....

the insurance company is not paying you, the customer is and is getting the money back after. So bare in mind that it is the customers cashflow that is getting used here, if the price is too much he may look else where just so he doesn't get stung until he gets paid, also have in mind that some insurance companys will have thresholds for certain types of work, what this means is that they will ask the householder to get at least 1 quote if it comes under the threshold it gets ok'd if it is above they may ask the householder to get 3 or 4 quotes. Or even send out a loss adjuster

 

[Time's Ran Out]

What you should realise is the Insurance Company will ask your customer to supply 3 estimates and they will offer him the payment for the lowest.
So unless you are the lowest estimate or have impressed the customer significantly is he going to pay you the extra money out of his own pocket?
The floor must be in a real 'mess' to need 11bags of self leveller (27sqmts) and do you have to remove the old tiles?
I'am assuming your £1100+ is your Retail price for all materials and your asking how much extra to charge for Labour.

 

[Prem Tiler]

I was going to charge £40 per m2 to include level and fix.

I know this is steep but is it too steep?

 

[Prem Tiler]

The whole bungalow is trashed so its not just the floor the fellas being paid out for its also the rewireing, new central heating, etc etc.

Tiles have been lifted but all addie is still down along with some huge craters.

 

[White Room]

What caused that for an insurance, water leak ??

 

[Colour Republic]

What do you mean trashed? Was it rented and they have trashed it? flood damage? fire damage?

Has the insurance company already settled the claim and the owner now has a set budget to get all the works done?

 

[Thespanishtiler]

Treat this job as any other you would quote for, you should already have a formula you work to for this, dont be tempted into making a opportunistic profit. always be consistant with your pricing.

 

[Gazzer]

I think you will find out that insurance companies know the going rate for tilers and tiles. If you land the job then fair play to you but as already said Insurance companies almost always want 3 quotes.
