Depends on yer speed mate. Do you batern it out or do it in one hit. Plus your gonna have to allow for a sparate day for grouting. Is it just walls or floor as well. how far up the wall?

 

[flat boy skim]

25 to 30 per sqm somthing around that depending on what tiles thay are.

 

[skimmin2day]

I charge betwwen £15-£22 m2 labour only dependt on tile size/type/background.

just phone up a local tiler up and ask him what his rates are

 

[james]

about £300 should do it

 

[hollybank]

Or go on the tiling forum and ask them ,like people come on here and ask how much per metre

 

[skimmin2day]

on a good flatish back ground it a days work mats will be £60 max.

 

[PhilPlaster]

£60 no chance skim! Hes got to go back the next day to grout! Petrol etc two visits! I charged £80 just for a floor. Took two visits

 

[skimmin2day]

im telling him its a days work + £60 mats maximum,he can charge what he wants a day mate.
Id want £200 on boards and it would be done by just after lunch.

 

[PhilPlaster]

HI all

My mate is a full time tiler been at it 17 yrs.

In Liverpool he is only able to charge £19 per sq m and he supplies the sticky and grout at that price.

He is not very busy either

Hope that helps

i dont charge by the metre for tiling, same as i dont charge by the metre for skimming...
it aint newbuild, every jobs different, depends on the size of the tiles, amount of cuts / beads / borders / sh't in the way :
flatness of substrate...
attitude of customer
