Glued or secret nailed?

I charge £22 pm2 for secret nailing. I only do a glued floating if the customer requests as I don't recommend it on timber

I use T cleats instead of L cleats. They are easier to get out when double shot. When the chamber is down to the last 2, it sometimes shoots double so keep chamber topped up

As above Alan there are multi traders on the forum too.
He doesn't know what to charge as with most people these days he is applying his skills, as a time served carpenter making bespoke furniture and kitchen fitter,to make more money in the whole service.
He was think £30m2 in london so heat just get away with that. Cheers bubblecraft.

Sounds about right for London mate. Secret nailed for timber substrate & glued for concrete substrate. I don't recommend glueing on timber substrate.

I totally know where your coming from but if you look again, you will see that it's solid oak random, not set. About 12 different sizes from 150mm to 1300mm. No 2 bits were the same length. I had 4 different boxes open at any one time to try & create the best layout.
Even if they were set, I still wouldn't do half & half unless the customer specified it. I generally would lay full, half, third...that's the 25 years experience coming out 😉
I really only do have & half if its 4 v groove.
