Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

Bunch of clowns! The correct answers are, No I don't cut down doors and plinths as part of my price as I don't own a saw, yes I take my rubbish away (that's what lay-bys are for) and Rubi ;)

What lay-bys are for chucking your rubi in..? :lol:


And no I dont cut doors and plinths.
Im a TILER not a bloody multi trader..:lol:

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

That's a bit cowboyish? what would you do if you tiled a floor where the customer had the kitchen fitted 4 week ago ? ( ring the kitchen fitter and ask him to come back and trim 2mm of the plynths) ?? a saw is only £29.99?

I'm sure people are kidding when they say they don't address these small non tiling jobs on a weekly basis

I cut down doors and plinths, same as I cut back architraves or fit boxing-in, as I regard it as part of the job. All my jobs are priced on a day rate not a sq mtr rate.

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

Why would you be expected to plain doors and plinths?......so a chippy fits a kitchen and hes expected to tile it ? A plasterer plasters a wall so the customer expects him to tile it ?
Im a tiler. I tile.....could I do it ..yes I could. But im busy enough tiling so I leave it to the relevent trades. .

And the client is told this when quoting so its there choice......up to now most customers already say the kitchen fitter has arranged to come back when the tilings done to sort out the plinths..

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

The less you involve other trades in your work, the better. I prep all my own work and take on extra other work including joinery / plumbing. Why? Because then I can only let myself down. No wonder peoples schedules get messed around waiting on other people doing these silly little jobs.

No sigma rubi threads as Dave's back and he might get banned. If your busy enough then get someone else if not it's only cutting them and if your not capable of cutting plinths then I dread to see the tiling. Do whatever makes you the money you need to earn

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

Who said anything about preping jobs ?
Or plumbing?
Thought we were talking about plaining doors and plinths

Re: Cutting Plyths & Doors.

If I was a kitchen fitter who had to wait on on tiler tiling floor before I went back to fit plinths I'd be inclined to just tile the floor myself.
