Herringbone floors. Why should we charge more. - TilersForums.com

[Simon Dale]

Hi all
Been a bit quiet on posting. 800x120 plank 105mts. Priced a job on the basis it would be random planks for x. It will now be Herringbone without border starting from patio doors ending up where it will. (Customers decision). Imo it is easier than random no need for clips unless bowed cos tiles are almost like landscape. Should we be charging more ? Once you have a line and stick to it you cant go wrong ? Tiles will be running into 2 rooms. Am I being daft ? If you would like this in the arms please switch it ?

charge more for any tiles cut on an angle.

Measuring cuts takes longer, cutting them is more arkward, setting out is way longer. Negotiating door ways will take way longer. It's just all round more arkward Simon!

It will take longer than standard random planks, so therefore should be more £'s per m..

105 sq mts - so it all depends on what you were happy with in your original price.
Only time I’d increase my price is if I was busy.

I wouldn't entertain the same price Simon

Or more day's per day rate..

110m floor on a day rate ?

The fact it's large means there should be a decent size open area which shouldn't be too slow. I think this thread should be in the arms

If customer wants to change from original quote then only makes sense price can be renegotiated for all the above reasons. It’s like getting a body shop to price for painting a plank of wood and turning up with a Lamborghini countach expecting it to be painted for same price!

Not as arkward as spelling awkward
Mind you, you posh types speaking with the plum in your mouth it does sound like arkward...
