Current Tiling Rates?

[Grainger]

Hi All

I'm not sure that this is the correct place to post this one but...

Has anyone got a rough idea what the going rates are for tiling in the Northeast? For some reason I'm constantly being out quoted at the minute, for some jobs it doesn't seem to matter how low I go, there's always someone undercutting - sometimes with outrageous prices.

Last week I quoted on a kitchen floor, around 18m2 (fitting only), the customer was happy enough and we agreed a date, they called back a couple of days later to say someone had offered to do it for £70!

Am I missing something or are prices really that low?


Cheers
Ken

Sorry but we dont discuss pricing in public forums.

More this happens i think a booking fee of 10% of the job value should be taken to try and stop this happening once a job has been excepted.

Less than £4.00 per m2

Apologies I'm new

Where can I get advice?

Not sure how long you have been tiling or your experience in the trade from your information.
As we are not able to discuss prices in the open forum - only the Tilers Arms - you will have to keep posting /getting involved in the Forum before pricing information can be discussed and you can gain entry to there.
It may not just be a question of price with customers accepting another estimate but if it is at the prices you have quoted - they will get exactly the standard of work they are paying for!
Keep posting/asking and getting involved.

3 years experience (not loads) but enough to be fairly accurate with quoting etc.

Dont be disheartened Grainger, no-one is pushing you away pal, you have a valid question that can be answered but as above you need to gain access to the tilersarms. Once in you will gain a lot of help with your original question.
