  • Ms Hammer has been quoted £475 labour to screed and tile 2.6m of floor. It's an awkward shape (a wonky C) but I feel the guy might be taking the piss, seeing as he threw in a 'so what do you want to do about materials' after estimating the quote, which I would have thought would at least include adhesive, grout and spacers. Any thoughts?

  • Where are you based? do you mean 2.6m square? How big are the tiles?

    The job might be small so the guy just whacks out a quote to almost not get you to go with it.

    Stick the job on mybuilder and get 3 people round to quote.

  • Yeah sorry, 2.6m2 - based in Hackney Wick, tiles are 30x30 and I suspect there is some awkward cutting involved as the shape is actually more ? than C.

    From what Ms Hammer said (I wasn't there when he came round to look at it) he seemed professional but almost had dollar signs in his eyes when she told him the tiles she was thinking of getting (since abandoned) and I think chipping on the materials at the end was cheeky.

    I'm not sure what site she had the job on before but I saw some quotes and they were all either of the '£100, 1 day, will do good job promise' variety or just never answered phone calls etc. Maybe tiling is in serious demand these days?!
