Just plastered out dormer bungalow, tiler comes in, 2 days work to do all downstairs, charges 1900 qwd, no supply...

Said he often earns 1k a day on site!
How come there prices not been slashed so they dont earn too much?

I was skimming in site when tiler came in for a natter.
"You doing all right here mate?" He asked..
"Oh you know keeping the wolves from the d...."
""Smashed £500 out today" he interupts
"Good for you mate"...

Watched him next day grouting and loading tiles across the site.

"You smashing another £500 today?" :coffe:

eh? Tiling was part of plastering trade years ago. when the tiles were fitted on a cement and sand base. it separated from plastering in the early 60s when the first tile adhesive [richafix] became available.
plasterers and bricklayers downgraded to become tilers when the work became to heavy for them. tiling was classed as a semi skill with a lower rate of pay.

My old tradesman Jimmy was an excellent tiler, not that shite in someone's bathroom. But the tiling in old buildings, did a lot of old entrances that fancy wall and floor tiles.
He was 63 in the early 80's, a true link to real plastering.
