Help!: Price per meter 'down south' please

[davidelton]

Hello,
I'm new on the forum but have been tiling 3 1/2 years based out of Reading. I'm used to getting £20 a square meter on site but have been charging £30 per square meter including adhesive & grout for privates.

I've already done a search for this but did'nt really get the answer I was looking for. I'd been told £30 was the going rate but lately I'm wondering if I'm now over pricing because of the credit crunch. I came out of a 4 month site contract 3 weeks ago but the phone isn't ringing for my local freebie paper ads like it used to.

Anyone working south England got any advice? I'm also interested to see if prices vary by much up & down the country.

Cheers
David.

Hi David, welcome to the forums. We try to keep pricing questions out of public view by discussing them in the "professionals" part of the forum. As you are established, drop the Forum owner Dan a PM and give some details about yourself and see if he can give you Professional status on the site. This would give you access to all sorts of questions and answers similar to yours.
