[Mark McAllister]

Hi Guys, Just finished a 135m floor for a shop fitting company I do work for , have done loads of floors for them over the years, This one the client wanted done diagonally 30x 30 porcelain . Would you normally charge more for this .Not wanting to discuss figures obviously , just checking if anyone charges more for diagonal tiling... Thanx

Yes

 

[LM]

Yes here also

 

[Blunt Tool]

More time to set out, square off and cut so yes more money.

 

[Andy Allen]

And it's a yes from me too...
Congratulations your through to the next job....

 

[Albert]

Definitely.

 

[Rookery]

Me too. Though on domestics I try and dissuade the customer by saying something like 'really, I've not done it that way for ages, it's a bit old fashioned'. It usually puts them off and I don't have to mess about with tricky cuts into rooms off a hallway and the like.

 

[Qwerty]

Agreed, deffo more!

 

[Italy]

no,
just because I do one a year.
not every year

Yes it’s a lot more work. Maybe not so much in the middle of a large area but on a domestic it’s probably 40% more work

Thanx guys for replies, probably stick with my rate for this one , but told contractor more for any future diagonal floors.... For the record the floor was black & white chequer board with black grout.......Couldn't,t talk client out of it, she was determined to get it this way......

 

[Just Rizzle]

if you fit for this guy alot probably do it at same rate dont put your relation ship in danger by allowing some one else in

 

[Perry]

On a large floor no. But you might get a little more on 135 mt floor.

 

[GoneGuy]

Yes takes more time
