What sort of money would you expect to be paid for working as a tiler for a large house builder like Persimmon Homes?? Per week or a Month

 

[Colour Republic]

what on PAYE? monthly if so

 

[david campbell]

it's all on price m8!
depends if it's splashbacks,half bathrooms,full bathrooms,different tile types,how many houses they are selling(the list goes on!!!!)

and ultimately how neat and fast you are!

Didn't realise it was that complicated. So how do you know if it worth working for a company like that or not

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I doubt very much that they will employ tilers - it is normally all sub contract!

when you work all week but still can't pay your bills

 

[top tiler]

you will be on a monthly valuation once the house is finished but if the survayor is off or sick or you missed the cut of date or accounts are sick you will wait for your money. all the time you are still tiling other houses,it can take sometimes up to 3 months to get paid for your first invoice.make sure you have deep pockets. if you need to be paid straight away dont work for big builders.

I used to a bit for Persimmon in years gone by.....

They pay per house type - i.e. - £1500 for an Amberley, £1000 for a Grosvener, etc., etc...

Then if there are any customer specified extras, i.e. kitchen floor or full height instead of half, I used to quote for the works first so they could pass that on to the customer before they gave the go ahead.:hurray:

If you're quick there's canny money to be made and I never waited for money from Persimmon - mind you they were selling houses for fun back then, not sure what they'll be like now.
