Some customers

[Mr Tiler]

Like Bri, I only ask for a deposit (100%) if I'm supplying the tiles or bathroom fittings.

100% of payment rookery?

 

[J Sid]

I have never taken a deposit in my life.
I will never supply any tiles, as alot are stone and never come looking the same as the sample, so i never get stuck with them when they say " i don't like them", or the porcelain tiles are different batches.
I don't think there is enough profit in supplying tiles with all the possible hassles involved.
Many be missing a trick, but like to concentrate on the fixing.
Will not do a job unless i supply the adhesive and grout.

100% of payment rookery?

I assume he means 100% payment of the tiles, not the complete job. That's how I do it anyway.

It had already crossed my mind but, the tea bag man hasn't got access. The op posted it in the open so I assume he doesn't mind.

 

[Mr Tiler]

or seen as im such a contributor (and obviously not a customer) maybe I should be set free into the unknown pmsl!

I always take 50% of the total price at start of job, 50% on completion.
It works for me and never had any real problems with it.
If a customer wasn't happy with this, I would explane that its a matter of trust on both sides.
Them trusting me to do a good job and me trusting them to pay. 50% at start seems a fair compromise on both sides.

I take 50% deposit on supply if I'm fitting a complete bathroom or if it's anything over 50sqm of just tiling
