As above... I charge for tiles needed to do the job, not the exact area to be tiled.

I'd have to agree, Its where all the best tilers end up, eh Paul

As for this topic, I never take out for a window, open out the reveals and you have near the area of the window anyway, not to mention the cutting, fitting trim, leveling up cills, heads and reveals etc. We should be charging extra for windows?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

If I read the Guest's OP correctly, he has been charged for metres not fixed.
I don't think its professional to charge for total areas including doors and windows which will take an area of tiling to say 40 metres when he has supplied 38 metres of tiles and it has done the job.

Can we keep on topic please

I'm with most of the guys here, but i spent a couple of years in Perth and the practice over there was to count every tile and every single cut. Then use that sum as whole tiles counted then times the sq area of the tile.So in effect count all cuts and tiles as whole tiles this allows for wastage and cutting within your rate per sq, mtr. :drool5:
Normally I just check how many tiles supplied and subtract whats left in whole tiles
or just quote from total tiles supplied and stick to the quote.
But! I believe that the meterage is really just a guide to price the job, once the job has been quoted, I dont care what the meterage was in the end, a quote is a quote and if you have accepted that then its a done deal. If you have agreed to a price you should really pay it imo
If the Tiler or any Tradesman or woman should chose to use some discretion in a matter like this then thats up to them. But I am sure that if the job was under quoted, the client wouldnt offer to pay the difference.

Seeing as you supplied the tiles you should be aware of how many sqm you bought. If you purchased say 20sqm of tiles and the tiler has charged 30sqm labour then I would challange the invoice. If however you bought 20sqm and he has charged for 20sqm even though the areas measured 17.6sqm (for example) then yes some tilers do charge for tiles handled to complete the job.
