wages as an employed tiler...

[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. .

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

 

[nybor62]

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.

its ok doug if you live down there . , not if you have to pay hotel and parking

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

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. ?

 

[m3fitter]

I pay £120.0o after tax to my tilers and a van, but it's high end and a different market...

£80 a day round here is about the going rate. For someone like Ash who hasn't been at it for long I'd say £50 a day is a fair wage.


£400 a week is great for having stress free life and the phone getting turned off at 5pm.
