You mean to Mike?
He's disappeared, spoke to him, he meant to text the address over, which I reminded him to do so on Saturday when we meant to meet up. Haven't heard from him since

He's a very good spark, but ran out of money on his extension and trying to do bits on his own to "finish" it. He couldn't nail two pieces of wood together even if you'd pay him a million pounds but he's spot on with electrical work.Multi trader who doesn't know how to

£1000 a week is what I look to earn up my way. Lots of work being a uni town but you still have to work hard for it and still have merchant bills etc to come off. Tiling big floor rake in the cash but try walking normal after 8 hours on the knees even with pads. Then it's a painful thought to go back and grout it lol

All depends on how good your floors are. If there nice and flat piece of piss. It's when you have to start bedding them up with with piles of stuff it's becomes tricky. Or your going along nice and flat and hit a huge bump

Mistake I made is when I screeded I just put a very thin layer over heating mats, in hindsight should have levelled full roomAll depends on how good your floors are.

Most now you don't need to screed just tile right on top use abit more stuff but I find it so much easier. If you get the heating matts with the netting it just floats to the top no matter what you do and creates huge bumps, it's shocking stuff to use with self leveller.

One can spot a bad tiler a mile off. A good tiler is worth his money because it isn't as easy as one thinks!

I charge between 17-20€ sq meter if it's not to tricky job. If it is, I give the sq m rate tgen add day or 2 extra. Would pull between 120-175 a day and when I'd nothing on, wouldnt care if I pulled 80-120 a day. No mortgage so don't get it to right when it was 80. Now thou, it's up to 120-200 a day.

I personally think tiling is harder I go in a 150 a day for both trades , it's tougher on the back knees and you've constantly got to think what you're doing
