Tiling Price Base Rate - how much do tilers charge?

[Dumbo]

I have said in the past I would love to carry less tools on my van and the only tools to carry are tiling tools but sadly it ain't so

They always cry about the price lol, but the fact your getting some big stuff in gives me hope I can push some here, Andover is always a bit behind so hopefully can get it going a bit here soon

Thats a conspiracy he needed to get out of his contract with Graham Chapman because he wanted to go tiling in andover

People go into Tile shops and get sold what they get sold if they go in a shop that pushes a lot of large format that's what they will probably buy .

Impish, that's all well and good and I understand where your coming from but it depends on what jobs you are doing, I'm sure a lot of tilers, myself included do jobs for all manner of contacts as well as my own jobs and normally you walk into a room that has been prepared by the fitter, or skimmed by the plasterer or whatever. Ripping bathrooms out is something I seriously dislike

I hate ripping out too! But I equally hate having to tile onto other trade's prep.
That's why I'm so "stuck-up" about what I'll tile onto. I suppose I'm fortunate really that I can dictate to a large degree how I want things done - my way.

If the jobs allow that level of prep that's great but a lot of the time, the budget doesn't stretch to all new walls
