What prices

[widler]

Yep, they went all guns blazing on me here in this thread lol.

Once i post pictures of this job, im wondering will they still rip me to shreds when they see its a good job. I cant get my head around why these people think i shouldnt charge if i leave a good job.

Trust me some very protective tilers on here about there trade,a bit like me with plasterers,I hate the fact people can go on a crap coarse for a few weeks and skim a plasterboard then go out into the world put 'plasterer' on the side of the van and go and balls someone's house up,then someone like me has to go round and sort it out,get right on my boobies !
But,some good lads on here,some bloody good tilers who we can learn a lot from,which I have learnt a lot from.
Even though I served my time 'plastering/tiling, I mainly plastered/corniced for my apprenticeship,but I liked tiling and picked a lot up and done some good jobs in nearly 30 years,mind done some horrible council referbs which would make some of these on here toes curl !
Going back to your question,speed comes with experience ,my advice,take your time and make a good job,I do mainly domestic jobs,but I've just done this floor in a ex pub being made into a shop(funnily enough one of my old locals from the 80s)
80m2 in 300x300s started tiling Saturday dinner time finished grouting Tuesday tea time ,I was on my own sat,Sunday,Monday and my lad grouted on Tuesday while I was at a funeral

Oh and I had to tile and grout about 20m2 on the sat and put 4 big freezes on to get out the way

Ps if you look on the photo with the support girder on,I measured it so when I got to it no cutting was required ,just 4 full tiles around,how's that for measuring!

Pps ok I'm lying it was sheer bloody luck

If pricing it on the sq mtr then it should work out about 3 and half days going by the local cash in hand rates. Ill have to look at it again when the lino gets lifted to see how much prep work needs done. Thanks for you reply.

Cash in hand!
Don't forget it's all taxable so make sure you provide all your competitors with the full address and details - I'am sure one will be upset .

Of course i know its taxable and will be paid. I just said its cash in hand because thats what the going rates are for cash in hand. I would never dream of not paying tax on it, esp since the country is on its knees so every little bit helps. I also encourage others to do so
