Quoting

[IvegotsTILE]

Like I said Last job I earn't £220 for days work,I'd do them all day every day for that amount of money.

 

[protilers]

so would i £220 a day...great...except the £42 to park.....the cost of my van.....fuel....vat........office.....income tax, the accountant....oh and the wife............
p.s like i said before i earn a penny it costs £50.....a day....everyday......different circumstances......you and i.........i think you might get all the work eh?

Protilers I agree with you on your costs being higher in london. You've only got to look at the cost of houses to realise that. I live in Telford but come from Twickenham. When I moved up here with my old job my wages dropped by £400 a month net and I could still afford (just about) to live so there's the relative difference for you.Its a lot isn't it!

Glad I don't live down there,my cousin works away down in London every week and he has an expense account of £400 a week cause he has to go to many different sites,he easily goes through it with parking and congestion charge.

London is a different world,I always wonder how people who work at places like McDonalds on less than £7 an hour survive in London.

I have a quote to do when I can get to them for doing just this work, re grouting a bathroom, not sure of size yet obvs. Will be £150 a day + negligible materials.

£150 is fine if you think you can do it in a day but believe me if your doing it with a rake it will take a long,long time and your hand will cramp up every half an hour,lets hope its a small bathroom.:yes:
