Good evening all, need to quote for a job and would like to know what prices you would give, so...
50m2 total area
6mm insulated board
UFH matting
Self level
600x600 Quartz (in discussions about the quality)

It's in a new build but the floor isn't great and this is labour only, with 2 of us doing the fitting.
Thanks in advance

Just labour, not supplying anything

Topps are supplying the tiles which they have said are suitable. We will make sure that is the case!

Bal PTB is the adhesive which has been recommended by Topps

Bal PTB is the adhesive which has been recommended by Topps

Never heard that before. Should be 2 part adhesive with no water. This job sounds like a headache to me. I'd insist on 2 part and get it in writing that the tiles are suitable for ufh

 

[J Sid]

I would talk to bal, but I would say NO to BAL PTB, needs to be bottle plus powder.

I would also talk to the quartz manufacturers with regards the ufh.

Do all of this in writing or emails, I would want anything Topps staff say in writing.

If they have some tiles in stock, go and read the box, I have just done some quartz from and say laytex base adhesive only.....

 

[hmtiling]

With regard to price, unless i was very quiet, i'd want around £3k labour only. If i was very busy and it isn't a regular contact £3.5k

 

[macten]

Yeah every quartz / composite I have done has stated latex on the box. I wouldn't even bother with Topps staff and only communicate with manufacturer direct.

 

[macten]

Need sealing too won't they?
