300x300 slate tiles to cover 24m2 I'm quoting £900- £1000 that's inc grout and adhesive and sealer does this sound about rite for laying slate !??

Probably yeah that's about 30 bucks a meter (720) and then your materials. I don't know how much they'd cost these days to be honest but a couple of hundred quid is going to cover it for sure.

sweet cheers always good to get a second opinion when pricing up a new tile first time with slate!

That's what the forums here for.

You'd probably find the established guys would charge quite a bit more than that usually. But then again the competition is heavy these days so I don't know.

If you manage to do it in a couple of days you'd have made an alright wage. That's the main thing.

Well I'm prob looking at £980 mark as its my first time laying slate I recon pushing 2/half days as I'll prob take my time with them I'll be sealing them before grouting and after

If it takes you three full days it's still not bad mate.

If it's uncalibrated you could spend half a day sorting thicknesses out, all wet cut then half a day sealing, then grout day after..think I'd have booked out a week for the job...still a decent wage for the week though
