Should be a minimum 40% extra for thin large format.
Extra large 2.4m+ is a whole different game...

If you are installing that size it would not be a price for 1 person, you would charge for at least 2 at a very good specialised rate, to cover knowledge, specialist tools etc

The biggest problem with pieces of that size is that customers do not want to buy spares.
In over 30 years I've never had to pay for an extra tile out of my own pocket, until I broke one by misshandling it.
My fault entirely, learnt what not to do again tho haha

At what point do you think a tile becomes large format and requires such a price increase ?

The smallest thin tile I've seen is 900 x 900

It depends on my physical, ahah

Not too long ago 600x600 was considered large format, so I'd say anything larger than that in area or length for me would be classed as large format.

I think the demand for local is for 40% more.
agree with impish, over of 90x90

3 categorise for me,
Standard porc over 600 x 600
Thin tile upto and including 1800 x 900
And anything bigger.
I think they should all demand higher rates.
The failed floor I'm re-instating next week, which is 1800 x 900's was laid for £26m2! Which is outrageous, and does us no good at all!
Believe me I'm charging a lot more to put it right, and the rip out is being done by the guys who laid it!
Little bit of justice there I think!

Who's paying to put it right?

Far as I can tell, the builder is reimbursing my cost for materials and I think he's only paying back the money the client paid to have it laid by them. So any additional is being stood by the client.
I think, can't be certain tho.
