53m floor

All materials are stacked up in middle of room, needs all the membrane trimming off round edges, Lots of priming, probably 4 days tiling time for me

Crikey.....missed this one !!
I quote jobs like this per meter......and if they want a day rate it would be 5 to 7 meters per day...so same price really !!
Unless I had no work ....and if they wanted it done straight away I might drop a bit....Someone will always undercut you...and if there just after the cheapest price then best to just move on..

 

[Andy Allen]

Had a customer once work out how much I was earning per day......your on a good wage.....it's only taken you 3 days to do my job.....no I said it's taken 3 days and 34 years experience to do your job.
Never sell yourself short !!

 

[mma]

Great thread!

 

[widler]

I'm happy to earn a good wage, I've been there twice (or is it 3 times)in a bad recession since I started work in the 80s .
I know how hard it is to have loads one week and nowt the week after, so ive always kept it not cheap but not expencive , it's maybe why we have never been out of work .
Me and Andystyle do quite a bit together , I'm happy on day rate on some jobs but m2 on others .
Ps there's not many folk in this country who earn around a grand a week , every week , every month every year , not many at all

 

[Flintstone]

No there isn't many that earn that your right, not people who are on the tools anyway!

 

[J Sid]

really!

 

[widler]

only maybe them who work 7 12 hours days

 

[Flintstone]

We can all do that !

 

[J Sid]

if you need to work those sort of silly hours to get a decent wage, then something is very wrong

 

[Flintstone]
