Builders Again!!!!! - TilersForums.com

I got a call off a builder I work for regularly asking me to book a small kitchen floor in for him. He said there was a day's work tops. Moved a job back a day then called to look at the kitchen floor. 45 sqm random length stone,crack mat, kitchen and conservatory with ufh why do they think everything is just a day. Now got to try and sort my diary out for a second time

How much experience has the builder got....a days work

Worked for him a few years now. Last year he told me a job was 5sqm when I turned up to do the job it was 5 metres X 5 metres. Other than that he's great to work for

I priced a job blind last year, "it's a porch mate, 4ft by 4ft". It was a conservatory 4metres by 4metres.

It gets worse.....fella really wasn't the sharpest. He'd had his tiles from an online firm, enough to cover 4ft by 4ft. I honestly thought he was winding me up when I got there but it just turned out he's really thick.
