i would say about £55-65 plm fix only tony

 

[Tony73]

Hmmm i'm cheap then :lol:, i was doing £40-£45

Tony I price it by the format size, and then how many I expect to get done in a day. so for instance it could be 10 stones in a day @ 900x400= 3.6m2 a day. Depends how fast you are at doing this type of work.

are they all copings or used for steps as well.
if copings only and in decent long runs i would say £ 40.00 per lin mt is pretty good money.that equates to
£ 111.00 per sq mt!!!
if was laying pool copings that had to be very accurate especially for deck level pool would be more.

I can do 12-15 linear m. per day. Thanks Lynn

Yes Jonnyc, will use same stone for steps, but no risers ( will be render). Thanks Jonnyc

Update on coping. Size change, it's ( 700,800,900,1000x265x50) . And here i did some

 

[Tony73]

Did some more work ( steps). All steps are eq. size, all paralel etc.

 

[jonnyc]

looking good tony .
good to take the saw marks off front face of tread before fixing riser if they come flush to nosing from underneath.

Sorry I got to say something, and its this. Tony where is the water going to run off to? from what I can see there is no minimal fall on those treads. This is an exterior job yes?

lynn, i think hes showing that he has a couple of 1mm yellow packers under his level and level still reads falling a bit.my eyes not that good to be fair but looks that way .
if tread 270 depth then he is in the realms of a 10mm in meter fall.
what fall do you specify for terracing and steps?
as a general rule i say 10mm in meter for flat honed stone running way from pool or back in dependent on inside or out.
if old or distressed the 13mm in a meter.
