Job opportunity over Christmas

Peter

Anybody needing a bit of work between now and the new year? I noticed this advert on Gumtree. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to do it so passing it on to fellow TF Arms members. :lol:


  • Contract type

    Temporary
Tiler wanted to fit tiles off Ormeau Road

4.6*1.17 dimensions - say 5.5 Metres square

To be laid with 60.60cm porcelain tiles which are on site.

You have to supply your own flexible adhesive and black grout, would prefer 3ml gap or your recommendation. Also want a space for a matwell and mat 35x60cm, so will need square edging for that.

Currently laid with laminate which will need lifted. assistance can be provided on the day if needed. I can grout at a later stage if you provide it, it is the main cutting and fitting.

Worth £80 to someone. Can be done anytime from now to January and weekends.
 
5.5m2 of porcelain to be laid inc adhesive, grout & trims for £80?

I bet that under that laminate is a deflection free, fully primed ready to lay floor lol
 
Here's the floor to be laid

For £80, that should cover my flights over to Belfast too
 
I calculated materials as follows: 2 bags flexi adhesive £30 , grout £10, trim £5, petrol £10, primer, spacers, silicon £3, ... That leaves 22 quid profit!!! Don't forget the tax though so 15 quid, but you will have half bag of grout and adhesive for yourself!... These chancers annoy me!!! .... If they dictate the price then they also dictate the materials... Someone should go round and stick those tiles down with 2 quid silicon... See how they like that!!!! Grrrrrr
 
Best of it is that those houses have floorboards under the laminate so you'll have to board it out of your £22 profit too. :lol:


Think it's a landlord/HMO but that's tight even for a landlord.
