Rough Idea Of Fair Price For Tiling/sq M - TilersForums.com

[widler]

Well it's horses for courses.

You say they are going to level the floor etc, but will it be as good as a flow screed floor finish?

For this, I would charge for priming the floor, then £25 per m2 plus materials nothing less.

Even if it was as good as a flow screed finish, I wouldn't ever tile / grout the same day - but that's just me

I also don't buy into the fact that people say, I'll only pay £12 per m2 or something stupid like that, because you'll tile and grout it in a day.

Would they pay extra if it took you 1 or 2 extra days?

I think not.

No need to rush any job.

So much i could say about this, but i don't have the words

My post, or the subject?

I prefer to use slow set, but sometimes you have to use rapid, 16m conservatory floor, days work tbh.

On a snooker table type floor maybe, but not when building up.

So if you did a small floor ...say ...4 m2 you would go back next day to grout it?

Do people actually use slow set on floors, thought that was only for walls

Yes, as I'd go onto another job to fill that day then go back and grout it the day after.
