Bet he charges more for his services why should your expertise be any less valued .? if you can't make £200 a day then you may as well be employed, gone are the days when tiling was see as a semi skilled profession seen many builders and plumbers plasterers efforts that make you smile installed totally wrong and as a result fail or look dreadful . Don't get me wrong there are some very good multi skilled guys on here but not many would take on a 80m floor and 1200 x600 tiles you are worth far more in my opinion. All the best Kop

i agree with this . You shouldn’t be charging less than £200 a day for day work . This was what we were quoting for 7 years ago !! Our price is now £270 for day work and our clients are more than happy to pay that.

Look what people are paying to sit in a hairdresser's chair for 30 mins to an hour.
Then perhaps ask yourself; "why is what I do worth SO much less???"

How much do you pay at hairdressers ? Is this expensive ?

I don't argue its not about worth, I personally think it's crazy that people pay to have their toe nails and such painted but don't want to pay extra for something they will stare at for ten years. My point is more that it is about what you can achieve without sitting at home half your time sticking to your guns of being worth more. Not everyone has the steady steam in their area to knock everything back and wait for the golden egg. That is definitely more on the postcode lottery that has been mentioned and perhaps on which you specialise in as there are some folk on here that are incredible at what they do and I don't argue they aren't worth a lot more but they probably have a steady stream of work that allows them to stick to their guns. I used to subby for some local fitters but now another will tile and supply all materials at £18 a meter. Dot dabs all walls and only scores and snaps envelope cuts and butt's them up. Then there is me wanting a minimum of £30 or £25 a meter plus materials for repetitive work. Yeah it will eventually bite them in the arse but up to that point who do you think they now choose?

On that note though there are folk in here who say £35/£40 a meter and then £160 to £200 day rate. With my lower meter rate that I can only achieve up here I know I can smash that day rate easy enough. That's where a lot of what is being said in here doesn't add up. I'm just being realistic about what I can get and definitely not bitter about being undercut by the Mybuilder posse
