Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

The less you involve other trades in your work, the better. I prep all my own work and take on extra other work including joinery / plumbing. Why? Because then I can only let myself down. No wonder peoples schedules get messed around waiting on other people doing these silly little jobs.

No sigma rubi threads as Dave's back and he might get banned. If your busy enough then get someone else if not it's only cutting them and if your not capable of cutting plinths then I dread to see the tiling. Do whatever makes you the money you need to earn

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

Who said anything about preping jobs ?
Or plumbing?
Thought we were talking about plaining doors and plinths

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

If I was a kitchen fitter who had to wait on on tiler tiling floor before I went back to fit plinths I'd be inclined to just tile the floor myself.

Yes, most of the time he could. Q: do you ply your own floors, sheet your walls if required, remove old floor boards or reinforce old joists? Or build stud wall...Or do you just tile?

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

Why leave yourself open to more reasons for them not to pay you!
As Andy said damage a plinth on a £10k kitchen, it could be £800 from BQ without the plastic cover trim or a £35k hand painted one; in which case they would let you near a saw ( even at £29.99 ). And have you seen the cost of some of these doors?
For me I'd charge for any joinery preparation work that's going to be covered by tiling, but 2nd/ finishing joinery is done by others.

Qwerty

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

Bunch of clowns! The correct answers are, No I don't cut down doors and plinths as part of my price as I don't own a saw, yes I take my rubbish away (that's what lay-bys are for) and Rubi ;)
