Kitchen sockets

[dhsanta65]

Hi all , whats the most sockets you have had to deal with when tiling a splash-back ?

Just been to see one tonight 3.5 squared meters of kitchen splash-back to do, with 10 sockets.
Anyone had to do more than that for a small area size ??

it's not the amount of sockets that pee me off, it's when you get a long bank of them together, once had six doubles all in a row, not even any room between them to put a little prop. But it was easier for the sparky!!

13 on a 4sqm splashback with 50x50mm mosaics. Mind you, the average number of sockets on kitchen splashbacks is about 3 over here.

Who cares, the more the better i charge £10 per socket that's including supplying 50mm screws.

Um, I've never charged per socket, well, I am up against the Polish workers etc in sunny South London. Called an old builder I work for asking for jobs, I use to charge £150 a day + mats, he now has a Hungarian working for him for £75 a day INCLUDING mats............

is he from hungary or is he just hungry?

Got to charge per outlet, otherwise you will start lossing money fast!! The world is supposed to be trying to be more 'Green' anyway!! If we start charging more to tile around them, then maybe they will think twise about putting so many in!!

Well what do you know..... Tilers can help save the world after all!!
