[LM Ceramics]

sorry mz i wasnt looking properly how thick am i ?

[JOHNNYCLARKE]

dont touch it unless you are experienced terrazzo layer.
I am not of those but am experienced enough in other fields of stonework to know that you should stick to what you know.
This is like a different trade .

quiligotti,s is the biggest terrazzo suppler in the country i think they have been bought out by pilkintons
for that kind of yardage they,ll need a far bit of time
you'll need the the architect specs and a good look at the sub floor
and remember it takes longer to polish than lay

adrews of leeds usualy get that sort of job (there geared up for it )

An Aberdeen firm in Scotland has just phoned me up a couple of weeks ago to ask for a couple of tilers to do a 1200 metre job in a shopping mall 600 x 600 terrazzo 32mm thick, i gave them the names of a couple of tilers i trained a year ago thats doing well, they have got the job and the pay rate is £15 per metre, fit only, no grouting and no sealing to do, they are getting someone else in to do that part. Accomadation is in with the price as well, they are splitting the job at £9000 each, like i said though, no materials and no seal or grouting for that price. Hope this helps you out a bit for a guideline.

That will be the cost of the course covered then Darren...lol

Try getting in touch with TOFFOLO JACKSON in Glasgow,I'm pretty sure they're one of the biggest terrazo manufacturers in the country,but the last I heard,they only now make it to order........

[NKtile]

many thanks guys for all posts, sure as usual we'll put in a quote and go from there....... as we all know....something you not sure how keen you are on actually gettin.. put in big big quote that really makes your mind up for ya if you get it!

[eyebeetiling]

My advice would be to contact the terrazzo manufacturers, ask them who they would use to fix the tiles and get a quote from them and how long they think it will take them. Then whack on £300 per day for managing the project and let someone else get their hands dirty!!!!!!Bargain.

Have you got to supply the tiles or are they already brought??
