Hi all,
First post and not entirely sure if this is the right place to post my question so please do advise me if there's a more suitable area.
We are looking at having our kitchen retiled and have approached a tradesperson to complete the work for us.
I'd really like some advice on the quote provided as I personally feel it's astronomical. The room is approx 3100x2900mm. This is wall to wall but obviously we wouldn't require tiling all the way under the units just past the plinths.
Here is what I sent to the tiler:
Hi there,
Below are the images. Please forgive the mess. Just done dinner and in the middle of decorating upstairs so absolute mayhem.
As mentioned we brought the tiles. They’re wickes tiles. Apologies as I know these aren’t the best but the better half really liked them. They’re a glazed cream 600x300 I think. I know they need sealing (at least that’s what it says in the box). We haven’t purchased any materials so would be happy for you to include those in your quote as I’m sure you have preferred brands.
Finally if it helps or changes figures dramatically were happy to remove the existing tiles.
Kind regards.
Here was the quotation response:
Hi Brodie,
If you remove the existing tiles the tiling quote will be as follows.
To prepare surface for tiling with levelling compound £200.00 + VAT
To complete kitchen flor tiling £675.00 + VAT
SUB TOTAL £875.00
VAT £175.00
TOTAL £1050.00
If you would like us to remove the tiles it would be an additional £350.00
My quote does not include for the removal of waste from the property upon completion but it will be bagged and left clean and tidy.
Regards
