wages as an employed tiler...

[Mr Tiler]

hi guys, in recent conversations with the boss this discussion has came up a couple of times. now i know roughly what a self employed tiler who gets a lot of work through a 12 month period should be earning. but what about the guys who are employed and not on a self employed basis but actually employed like me. i dont really have a figure in mind of what i want to be earning once i can do just as good a job as the rest and to be honest i just want a comfortable life and a steady job...

but what would you guys realistically say i should be expecting in the coming months/years.


cheers

The figures I've seen recently are £110 per day and for stone tilers £14 per hour in the city of London....:yikes:

 

[Mr Tiler]

ok i was thinking to myself somewhere between the £400-£500 a week mark would suite me fine plus the odd weekend work for myself so its good to know i wouldnt be being too cheeky if 9i asked for that kind 0f wage

 

[White Room]

But Ash the wages they want to pay are for qualified tilers, you know yourself you have a way to go....

I agree mate I've worked with plenty of people who would jump at the chance of going on the books somewhere for the regular stress free wage

 

[Mr Tiler]

Absolutely Ash and fair play to you for sticking with it, plenty of people out there who can't be bothered to get off their backsides!

not bad for cards in though Rob, most self employed would be charging around that rate, and we all know about the expenses that come with being self employed.

 

[Brian the Tile]

Ive seen agencies offering £14 per hour

 

[Andy Allen]

if your on the books working for someone and your earning £140 a day your actually costing the company over £200 a day ....so you have to ask yourself what are you worth to them...

When I started tiling I was on £25 a week and I didn't go up much for 2years but I was happy to just learn a trade....I would be careful not to pee your boss off or you could end up with nothing. .

 

[nybor62]

my 1st tiling wage was £15 a week , working stupid hrs , boy did he get his monies worth out of me ,

I was just using that as an example. ...

Be lucky to get £80 on the books round here..

 

[Dougs Third Go]

but again Rob, if you're cards in, your employer would be paying for all expenses.

it was agency doug , i should have mentioned that

 

[mz30]

ash for a company to employee you on those wages you would have to be doing 60 to 75m2 each week,to take in your holidays etc upkeep of van etc.

Can you consistently do those sort of metres?

 

[Mr Tiler]

dont get me wrong im not hastleing anyone for a pay rise but its just came up in convo a few times because they want to know what sort of wage i am expecting in the end... well im already on a lot more than 25 a week but that being said i am fixing a lot for them so i am working hard for my money and was told earlier today that im due another pay rise. i have no idea what to expect as weekly wage once i am doing all that they can do just want a rough figure to go bk and say, this is what i want

 

[Andy Allen]

Approximately how many meters a week are you fixing. ?
