150x150mm white tiles are £50/M2 supplied & fitted here mate!! You're too cheap!!
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 work. I have seen their work at its diy'er at best.
Sounds like a landlord Naz. Be wary of this type of client as he will move in the same circles as other cheapo merchants who will always screw you down.
Be careful who you work for and build up your reputation as a good and fair tradesman. This will pay off in yrs to come.

Wrong customer bud, don't worry about those types you will always be toooooo expensive.
They're the ones that suck on the blood of the decent tradesman expunging all their knowledge and then getting some poor illegal @ £1 an hour to do it.
BEST LEFT ALONE & DELETE THEIR NUMBER.

Sounds cheap to me. I'd double that price personally or bin the custard.
I dont think that you lot know the Foleshill area!
Its bordering on the deprived and work is done by many very cheaply.
Advertise a job at £6 per hour and there would be 200 applicants.
Naz has not given the full information about who is supplying this or that and so its impossible to come to a conclusion on what a reasonable price for the area is. But my expectation is that it is not as cheap as the usual going rate. The Polish, Afgans etc. are part of the local workforce and their prices have to be considered.
A bottle of wine at two local Indian restaurants is £3.50 !

The whole country is on it`s knees
the only outcry will be BG when the shareholders have their annual beano Food from Tesco - Building services from BG - That is the reality of 5 years hence 
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 never had any complaints about my plumbing work. I was actually recommended to this guy, who is also a good family friend!
However if he does get an afghan etc to do the work, and they bodge it, i will refuse to rectify the work for him.
