Scots Tiler Here Needing Help...?

[L & R CERAMICS]

I knew of a team that took on the council contracts here in Staffordshire some time ago and they also quit before their term ended. Councils pay peanuts.

how is £24 POUNDS PER METER PEANUTS BY 13 METERS PER DAY=£312 POUNDS PER DAY FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS THATS NEARLY £70 THOUSAND POUNDS AND THEN OUR PRIVATE WORK ONTOP OF THAT

LETS HAVE IT RIGHT
CALL YOURSELFS TILERS
IVE NEVER QUIT A JOB YET

Did that include the materials too?

The refurbs here in staffs at the minute are paying 10 - 15's just for labour. And they are only 4m/s splashbacks with small bathroom floors.

You will need to stop/ start 3 times a day to get your money.

And the tiling surfaces are absolute crap, but yet again the tiler is expected to perform miracles on it. to hide the plasteres sh't work.

So 24's is a good number to have mate 🙂

no it didnt include materials that was labour only,when we took the contract on it started at £21 per mtr then about 45 houses into it i went back and told them i wanted more money and they said ok.on top of that mtr rate we normally had at least £120 standing time aswell, not everyday but was days when we couldnt complete or the tenant didnt want us in,yes most houses were a mess and there were a few slutty tenants, it was a peice of ****,that was walls only no floors 9mtrs in bathroom and 4 in kitchens ,we were actually doing 2 props then starting another in one day only when the props were empty tho

Pardon me being a newcomer and all, but this topic i think has went totally off on
a tangent...

I think if council refurb work is beneficial or not is for another subject, i
had hoped an experienced tiler would allow me kindly to assist them for free
for a few days for experience but nothing doing it appears...??

Just anyone looking at this thread would think it was a discussion on council
work pros & cons... and the actual subject being lost in amongst the debate...

No offence meant just an observation...
