autumn Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Thank you Rudd I was asking for a friend she has been quoted £400 for 5 metres . I thought it was a bit steep ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac_Plas Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 £400 is a rip off! Yes, but £80.00 is too cheap. Get more quotes if your not happy with the price, but if I was quoted £80.00 alarm bells would ring whether your getting a Jack or a proper tiler. Does no harm getting a few more quotes.

HYDROLEAK Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Going rate for a good tiler will be around £25-£30 per square meter including adhesive. £80 a day is very cheap. You get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris the £80 is labour only not materials so a good rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac_Plas Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 the £80 is labour only not materials so a good rate I gathered that. Still a poor rate for a tradesmen, £64.00 after tax, I pay labourers near enough that. Drive to job, Setting up, sheeting up, marking out, cutting and sticking tiles, sockets cuts, grouting, tools away, clean up and off. All for about £55 after tax and fuel, earn more on checkout at Aldi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GerryBooth Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 £80 will be for cash and more than likely mates rates. It might be only 5m2 but it is the cuts that take up the time. Once fitted there will be a wait for the adhesive to set before you can grout and then there may be some siliconing. So it may be an easy days work but all the same it will occupy a tiler for a day. Labour only including his specialized tools and van you can expect at least £120 for a proper tiler. Hydroleak above is a first class tiler, he did my bathroom conversion. Absolutely superb! i know mac-plas, very professional attitude to his work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
