lol ok so do you feel £320 was a fair price for the work quoted?

Hi all Can someone please advise on reasonable prices for tiling work in the midlands area? What is the going rate per meter squared? There seems to be a lot of confusion and disagreement on rates from some on the plumbing forums.

so are you saying £320 for labour is too expensive? If so, what would you say is a more acceptable price?

I agree with this to a point. Unfortunately, where i live, we have a lot of guys from eastern europe, afghanistan and iraq/kurd areas who will work for ridiculous costs. We are having to compete with these guys (whose standards of work are poor to say the least). BUt some (in fact a lot around...

My dear Agile, the 320 was for the labour only. He will supply the tiles (300x400mm....which means i'll have to hand mix the blooming adhesive), and he supplies the rad. I'll only supply the inhibitor lol. But my work is to a very good standard even though i've been tiling for a year, and i've...

Can you be more specific and let us know how many items you need fitting, including all smaller fittings like shelves, cabinets, towel holders etc? For the london area, for all that work, your looking at labour charge of about £2000.

got a call from the guy saying my price is too high, so i've decided not to do the work as i'm not prepared to do slave labour. He said he can get some afghans or kurdish guys to do it for half that. I advised him these guys are not qualified, are cowboys etc and he'll regret giving them the...

I've been asked to install a towall radiator and tile 5 square metres of a small bathrooms walls. I have quoted £320. Is this reasonable, cheap or expensive for the west midlands?

Fair point i suppose. The house i'm in had no room thermostat. The guy was a bit of a cowboy builder and i think he tried to cut as many corners as possble. I'll get a room thermostat fitted along with a programmable timer. Have you got any you can recommend? and are these new wireless gizmo's...

Hi all I've got a Saunier Duval f30e thermo classic and it has a very crappy heat setting timer which only allows me to set the heating to come on and off at 3 different times which to be honest is bad design and causes me to have a high heating bill due to being unable to intermittently...

This is an interesting scenerio. You dont often get people responsing to their own posts. You can certainly add a pan connector onto another connector, just make sure its pushed in fully and you'll be fine. I had to do this at the weekend. No reported leaks yet.

is the plumber actually Gas Safe registered himself? As a plumber who installs a boiler who is not gas safe means the boiler is not covered under warranty.

Q: Whats the opposite of minimum? A: Minidad...... :lol: :|

Yep this is paid work, i've started tiling, done a couple of jobs over the past few months which have turned out ok. Not too sure of the tile thickness, guessing around 6 or 7 mil. I've mixed powdered adhesives before and man they are tiring, left me sweating loads and tired before i'd even...

Hi all Can anyone advise if its possible to use BAL ready mixed adhesives on large wall tiles, approx 30x30 tiles? I've been asked to tile an entire bathroom, and have only 2 days to do it so was hoping to use a ready mixed adhesive to save time and energy on mixing the powdered stuff.

burglar got what he deserved. His family should be ashamed of themselves for visiting the scene of HIS crime to lay flowers and grieve. If it was my family member killed trying to rob someone, i would be ashamed to show my face in public, let alone openly grieve for the fallen criminal.

disgusting behaviour. How can someone stoop so low as to mock someones death, hurl insults at the dead child and to top it off, they did not even know this individual. Moron, complete vile dispicable moron. I dont think any trolling on here has ever come even close to this mans behaviour.

So your now saying the plane nose-dived? Not logical. As for debri, this is the first time a plane crash would have happened where everything was literally incinerated, plane, debri, passengers, even the black box, yet a note from one of the hijackers was found? I suppose the note said...

Afghanistan did NOT attack the USA. The Taliban did NOT attack the USA. The reason the USA attacked afghanistan was because the US believed Bin Ladin was there, whom they accused of being behind 9/11. lol are you being serious? Democracy? They have imposed western puppets into power and then...
