Pauly your on London rates,I haven't done site work for 19 months & was getting £:: m2 as Tom say £::: minus 20% for tax is £::: & not to be scoffed at that £:::: a month & if you got a decent accountant they get you a good whack back every 12 months,& like you said you don't want to appear rude neither do I but you need to earn serious dosh in London because you can't get in your van without it costing you to drive round your own city because of all the charges your lovely Mayor love shoving up the motorist of this fair & pleasant land

Agree with that, the cost of business around here is scary. I employ 2 other tilers on a self employed CIS basis and for rectified porcelain, detailed work with stainless trims black grout they want £28 m2. I am not joking either. what do supply for that I hear you ask......... sweet Fanny Adams, they even want me to supply pegs and mixing buckets

 

[Andy Rhodes]

Christ how many buckets do they go through a month do you supply them with grout sponges to charge £:: on private work & that labour only I do supply my own spacer crosses though ,

 

[Pauly tiler]

No mate not sponges, they pinch my hydro sponges and think I haven't noticed them disappearing from the back of the Bentley.
