cheers

Glued or secret nailed?

I charge £22 pm2 for secret nailing. I only do a glued floating if the customer requests as I don't recommend it on timber

ERM, last time I looked this was a tiling forum :wink_smile: I wouldn't have a clue, why hasn't he ? is he self employed ? maybe a day rate.

I own one of these - Broken Link Removed
Great piece of kit. These nailer can be hired from HSS for about £140 for a week

I use T cleats instead of L cleats. They are easier to get out when double shot. When the chamber is down to the last 2, it sometimes shoots double so keep chamber topped up

As above Alan there are multi traders on the forum too.

He doesn't know what to charge as with most people these days he is applying his skills, as a time served carpenter making bespoke furniture and kitchen fitter,to make more money in the whole service.

He was think £30m2 in london so heat just get away with that. Cheers bubblecraft.

Sounds about right for London mate. Secret nailed for timber substrate & glued for concrete substrate. I don't recommend glueing on timber substrate.
