Site Work Rate.

[AliGage]

That seems very low to me.. I'm in Reading and do domestic only im getting £40 plus a m double what I sas getting in 09..

It's up to you Sean, depends what sort of money you want to earn and if you want to kill yourself for it ?? I'm not a fan of site work but each to there own.. Good luck God bless

What seems low? £40psm is the lowest I'm at with private/domestic work.

@AliGage think you may may have mis read my post.. £40 per m for ceramics is at the higher end in Reading... My post was not to flex my muscles and puff my chest out !? Simply to support Sean in his session making... I believe rates/prices are subject to region and detail.

Highest we can get around here is around £35/40 m2 ,and that's if we are lucky , and I mean lucky as if the devil himself was sat on my shoulder , that's domestic And that's stone, porcelain and ceramics £25 up to £30, site work I ain't sure.

I priced one last week, I put it on here, I put £40m2 , for boarding, ufh, slc and tiling.
I was far to expensive he has gone for elsewhere I think, he must want a cheap job to go in his £400 grand house (which up here,is a big house)

Bet he doesn't take his car to a backstreet joe, I never can can get my head round why someone would pay top dollar for tiles and then want them fitting for peanuts

Wasn't flexing my muscles at all if that's what you are implying.
Simple question of what it was you were saying that is "low"

What sort of meterage was that on? It's scary to think that is "far too expensive"

The price pm2 of domestic work has always been about double what you get pm2 on a housing site. This does not mean in a year a domestic tiler will earn double what a site tiler earns.
Part of the reason site work is less pm2 than domestic work is the continuity of the work on site then there is the volume of work.
The fact you can set up and cut inside the house and you don't have to concern yourself too much about protecting your surroundings is also a factor.
With site work the tiles and adhesive are dropped outside the plot by the forklift so you don't have to waste time with trips to the supplier loading and unloading tiles and adhesive.
Also site tilers don't have to spend hours going out on the evenings to quote jobs and run backwards and forwards with samples .
Add in the fact on site work you generally have flat walls ,floors and empty rooms. All this makes it easier to fix more m2 per day.
So over a year a site tiler will earn just as much if not more than a domestic tiler.
There is the added bonus to site work that my tax is already payed so i will be looking forward to a good fat rebate not a tax bill at the end of the year.

I think that about summarises it @deanotile perfectly.

I had been domestic tiling for about 12 years before I came close to a site. So I guess for the most part I'm stuck in my ways.
It's not that I can't tile on site, it's the fact I can't do it quick enough to earn good money.

For me, I'm happy in my domestic work. I like the design side, giving ideas. I can work at a relaxed pace, i enjoy the interaction and the handover when I give them a bathroom, kitchen, hallway etc they love, There's a lot of job satisfaction in that for me and I think I'd lose interest in tiling without that side of it. Tiling is hard enough when I'm in a good frame of mind and enjoying it, it's a whole different ball game when the interest is gone.
Credit to site guys tho, I could physically do it but mentally, I'd be looking in the jobs paper after a couple of weeks lol

Very true.. To read it through like that really puts it perspective
