Kitchen tiling quote

Hi,

I live in north london and am looking to have my kitchen retiled.

The total area is 4.5m square. I have removed the old tiles and sanded the walls, (i'm no expert but it looks roughly ready to tile onto now)

I will supply the tiles, grout and adhesives for the job and just need the work doing.

If it makes any difference i will be using these tiles

http://www.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod964/section100/Metro-Black-Wall-Tile.html

dimensions that make up the 4.5m squared are:

Wall one: 0.75m x 0.60m = 0.45m squared
Wall two: 0.75m x 4.08m = 3.06m squared
Wall three: 0.75m x 1.05m = 0.79m squared

i have posted the job on my builder and had three replies:

£180
£160
£100

How do these sound? I'm not particularly worried about price as opposed to quality?

Anyone in North London (Haringey) fancy the job?

    The £100 is cheap, the others sound about right for labour only.

    I stopped tiling nearly 6 years ago now and at that time was charging £200 a day for jobs like this.

    Do remember that you are supplying everything for the job there will likely be no guarantees provided by the tiler.
  • i'm based in london as alan said £100 sounds to cheap
    i would charge £175
    will pm you my details
