Been quoted £1500 to tile our kitchen walls and floor. Each would be about 4 metres squared. Is that not ridiculously expensive?!

Floor tiles are big but really thick so might be hard to cut? Wall tiles are very rough Moroccan tiles I.e not clean squares, so those will be a bugger no doubt.

Got no idea on this stuff, but anyone tell me if that’s vaguely reasonable? Can’t be two days labour I’d imagine.

Tiling should be £25 per hour and pros can do 1 sqm per hour, so think £25 per square meter (labour only).

A 10kg tub/bag of adhesive is £15 and does 3 sqm, a new float is £10, a sponge is £1, etc.

Even if there's lots of prep-work, or cutting, I can't see how you'd get near £1.5k.

Thanks, really helpful. I’ll always happily pay well for someone doing a good job but just don’t like getting totally rinsed.

If anyone knows a good tiler that will come clapton way please drop me a pm.
