Fixing decoupling membrane

[SandyFloor]

I'm currently pricing a job 60sq. mtrs. 600/440 porcelain over ufh under screed. As I've never fixed membrane and this is a substantial area I'm unsure of how long it takes and would appreciate a rough guide price for labour. Alternatively some idea of time to fix 60 sq.mtrs in a reasonably open area would help. Thanks

How much would you be paying for ditra for that meterage

Was looking at the Genesis G mat £6.15/MTR.

It doesn't take too long to install but if you are unsure then advise your customer that it is part of the prep work which can only be quoted on a day rate due to so many variables. You can then give an estimate of one day but with a caveat that it may be more, that way you are covered.

Good luck.

I'm not worried about being slightly out on it as I just put it down to learning and experience. I just don't want to be a mile out but a day to fit seems about right.

Say about £15 am2 supply and fit

Is that what you are charging Mark? :yikes: That's on a par with 3 days money for fixing. Have you got any jobs going? I can make myself available for that sort of daily dosh :smilewinkgrin:

Only on smaller stuff

I'm thinking one days labour plus 7no. 20kg addy plus membrane. How does that sound? plus a little mark up.
