Rough Idea Of Fair Price For Tiling/sq M

[widler]

Thats tight croft , i had one ring up before, told me "
he wouldnt pay more than £15 m2, none of this £20m2, you would do it in a day and be earning well over £200 a day, no man should be earning that"
Needless to say, i didnt do one for him 😉

Yeah I don't think £25 is unreasonable that's £400 for a 16m floor less £80ish for materials. It'd take me 1.5 days so that's still clearing £200 per day. I charge £17 per metre (labour only) for big floors (ceramic/porcelain) and can easily clear £250+ per day working at a steady speed. When I say big floors, I'm talking 50 m2 and over.

Interesting one. One of our businesses USP's is that we undertake tiling, electrical and plumbing work. Particularly for tiling we work out slightly more expensive than a full time tiler as we aren't as fast. But, builders etc get the benefit of using one person for everything which I think is worth a small premium.

Will see what they think shortly as I am sticking to my guns!!

Its good money
conservatories are a dream to tile if they have flat floors
16m2 tiled and grouted per day should be no problem for a tiler on this type of work

Flat floor Gary, not seen one of those in a conservative for many years

I'd be doing that in a day, tiled and grouted no problem, bread and butter work.

Well it's horses for courses.

You say they are going to level the floor etc, but will it be as good as a flow screed floor finish?

For this, I would charge for priming the floor, then £25 per m2 plus materials nothing less.

Even if it was as good as a flow screed finish, I wouldn't ever tile / grout the same day - but that's just me 🙂

I also don't buy into the fact that people say, I'll only pay £12 per m2 or something stupid like that, because you'll tile and grout it in a day.

Would they pay extra if it took you 1 or 2 extra days?

I think not.

No need to rush any job.

 

[andyb1]

So why wouldn't you tile / grout same day ?

 

[StevieBoy]

Because you can't with slow set addy.

I prefer to use slow set, but sometimes you have to use rapid, 16m conservatory floor, days work tbh.
