quarry tiles price

[kilty55]

hi all,im currently on a large outdooe step with welsh quarry tiles,,first step and i think ive underpriced it,what is the average price for working with quarrys plus mats?cheers

Would be day rate for me Kilty.

 

[kilty55]

the step totals 12 sq metres..it will take me longer than a day grumps,do you mean work out how many days it will take?? is there not a rough price for laying quarrys?

Step work can be complicated sometimes...have you tiled some before mate ?

 

[kilty55]

none before at all,its going okay just longer than i thought,i priced it same as i would ceramics but due to amount of cuts/size of tiles will end up longer..part of the learnin process i suppose eh just wondered if there was a rough estimate for quarrys that you guys used

Agreed with Grumps, dayrate. I did one with 'heather browns' as they are known over here. Slow going and a bit of a pain.
Mind you im tiling long narrow hallway with rectified trav at the minute. Floor is up and down so ive got my work cut out. Will get it down and grouted tomorrow as i did 14 hrs today. Lovely!:mad2:
