wot do u guys charge a sq metre?

[martin & brock]

just starting up so need a bit help.
and do u charge the same for ceramic and porcelin?
and when u give them a price do u leave the materials seperate or put it in the price of the sq metre?
doing a homer and charged them around £12 a sq metre plus materias is that fair?
cheers in advance.

Thers a lot of variables to be considered, could you live on a 4mtr splashback @£12 mtr (maybe a day plus going back to grout) Have a good read through the forums before each job and you'll pick up a lot of pointers.

Never heard of doing a homer, but I took it as another way of saying doing a foreigner.

Just that my understanding of "homer" is someone who is employed in a particular job and takes on "private" work outwith the company doing the same job but paid on a "cash" basis. That was all.

i charge the same for porcelain and ceramic, but charge more for stone or mosaic.
£20-25 a m2 for porcelain and ceramic, and £25-30 for stone. when i go and price the job i decide how fiddly it looks and weather or not i get a good vibe from the customer then decide my price per meter, i also take into account any travel involved....But, after having brought up all these variables, i price most at £22 a meter then materials on top.

intresting Muff are you quicker on walls than floors ? :Pete

[d noulton]

£30 m2 porcelain & ceramic £40 m2 stone & slate £150 day rate all including materials

If the jobs very straight forward and basic then I can charge as low as £20 psqm, but otherwise I generally work out roughly how long it will take me and charge day rate, or whichevers is the most.
