How Hard Is This?

[macten]

Just been to look at a 30m2 job, 19x57 cm wood effect planks. downstairs loo, hall, kitchen and utility all flowing through. Customer would like it herringbone on the 45. Never done it before and although I want to do one I'd rather cut my teeth on a single room. Don't like being out my comfort zone but am I overthinking it or will it be as tricky as I'm imagining?

Once you get your line, your away, it's just like any other tile, but it's gonna be time consuming !

Time consuming!!!!! How would you price that? By the day? Tricky

I would probably go in at 1200 labour based on £40 a Meter, sounds a lot but measuring and cutting is a real pain. There abouts anyway, I've not seen the layout

Think of a number and double it!!

Work it out how many m2 can be laid a day...

You'll need a really flat floor to leave anything like a job

Try and get them to except a border around perimeter Nick, of one tile or slightly under, it'll eliminate small cuts and take out any rake in the walls.
That way cuts can be kept constant.
Watch your set out on a centre line, u don't come off a centre line perse.
Your line is off centre.
I'd go in at your regular plank price plus 25-30%
But that's me.
Good luck mate!

They do look better with a boarder, more traditional looking

This is one of those times when I would really love to work with one of you more experienced guys. The layout; kitchen units, stairs, toilet and doorways makes me think I'm going to be there forever doing difficult cuts (I'm not the fastest!!). It's not fair to expect a customer to pay for my slowness combined with the fact I've got bread and butter bathrooms stacking up I think I'll give this one a miss.
