quote help 7m2 splashback

[thegwads]

just after a bit of help on a quote, pretty ticky to do.
basically, 7 m2, (14 linear metres going up 500mm)
15 sockets ( one hell of a lot.)
3 different worktop areas, 1 window reveal.
no cooker hood to deal with. tops all nice and level
what would you guys all go in at, price and how long? i am not the quickest, but not slow either
oh - 100mm square tiles normal bond, no fancy diagonals or bonds!!
walls are all fine
just a lot of sockets!!!!!
cheers in advance

Your'd want at least two days plus mats

Id probably go for 3 days as id grout it on the third. You might nail it in two long days but charge for 3 anyway as i always find 100x100's a pain.

£275

day and a half too qucik for me, as i'd be wanting addy to set properly, so that would mean 1 day to do all tiling, then back next afternoon to grout.
i was thinking 1.5-2 days to actually tile, what with all the sockets, and then an hour or 2 to grout.
probably will go in at 300 plus materials (addy, grout, trim)
£325 me thinks

cheers for advice

My first proper tiling job was almost exactly as you have described. Took me days and days! 15 sockets to cut around, 1/2 a day there really!

Check out my gallery http://www.tilersforums.com/tilegallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=1652&sl=g it's in there.

Something like this i would price £25sqm plus £10 per socket plus £30 per window plus materials.

I like that idea...

Im noting this priceng method though for kitchens I generally charge £45 per m plus materials.

A sockets a socket... does it matter how many there are?

Dont forget long socket screws!

Yes it does matter ...because its obviously more time consuming...

I'd price it at 2.5 days. You'll get it tiled in two days, maybe one if you put the hours in, then go back and grout the following day.

You'll get used to the sockets in the end, how do they fall with tiles on the job? I've had a splashback today 150x150mm tiles and most of the sockets required plunge cuts. Out of interest do you boys knock the juice off when you are fiddling about trying to get the tile over the sockets?

£250 - £300 + Mats

And don't forget to take some socket screws with you!
