Really impossible to say mate, don't know your speed, room layout etc etc. Have a good look yourself mate and estimate how long you do think it would take you, take things into account such as cuts etc. May well be worth charging on a day rate if it is going to have lots of fiddly bits. You could probably do the job on your own but a labourer would be nice to do the cutting and mixing.

I'm in agreement with Penno here.

I will give you a couple of ballpark answers. 20 quid a m for me whatever, i presume its all floors though? Id be looking at a week max, more like 20-40 m a day with a helper. How long do you have to do it?

Thats what we work for over here, all materials supplied, im fitting porcelain all the time for 15 on big jobs, ie over 100m2. Can do 40m2 a day, that a good days pay for me!
I do callibrated, filled and honed trav for the same, no bother.

Must be something wrong with me..........no way I could lay 40m2 in a day, not even with a "boy" to help!

I ‘m not dreaming and I have only had a mixer for the last two years before that I mixed all my adhesive by hand with a gauging trowel

I'd love to see one of these 40sqm to 50sqm a day guys do a time lapse video of their day.
I can imagine in certain circumstances, you can get a large area done in a day (I think my record on my own was 30), but saying it as if its an everyday occurrence, I'm not so sure.
