kitchen splash

[bl tiling]

Just been to price a job 4sq metres of kitchen splashback about 400mm above worktops
and up to the cooker hood the tiles are 150x75 fairly straightforward....... until she told me she wanted them fixed herringbone any ideas how this should be priced guys

No prices in the open forum, work it out on your day rate.

double you first thought itl takeyou twice as long

so is it just the area above the 400mm that's gonna be herringbone?, if so I'd just include it in my original price as a goodwill gesture tbh. Something different.

Does she want it sqr set or 45 set ?

the pattern is on the 45deg only from the worktop up to 400mm, then directly below and in line with the cooker hood it extends further up and butts up to the underside of the hood
cos its only 400mm I cant see how it will do the pattern justice

Why do I keep seeing pro tilers not in the TilersForums Arms?

Get in the arms lads. I think there's a stripper in there later or something I heard today.

At least it will get the old grey cells working harder LOL

I think we should bring back diamond tiling with 6x6 on walls, just for the challenge.

I posted on Andy Allens thread about adjustable levels, and a link to a web site that offers 59 different patterns you can fix tiles.

Tiling could be about to get more interesting, bet I won't be putting up 75 sq m per day of some of those patterns. I have done a couple of grand opus patterns recently, it's not funny lifting 900x600x25mm flagstones cos I put them in the wrong place.
