Tiling vs Laminate

From a tradesperson's point of view, I wouldn't price a 5m2 floor in terms of per m2. A floor this size will come down to your daily rate. Some guys charge £130 per day, some £300. I would expect to charge somewhere around £200 which I think is fair, considering payment of taxes, liability insurance etc.

When the floor is 20m2 then there's no way you can charge £50m2 unless it's top notch natural stone or Italiam mosaic.

Exactly, but it also depends on how much prep work is required doesn't it? According to brownbake this floor is worth £150 max no matter how much work is required on it. And its very easy to do, he's read a book. :rolleyes:

and no one has asked the really obvious question yet! does the OP really mean 5m square or does he mean 5 sq m?

Make a world of difference to the price.

Good point mate, and really easily confused!

"5 metres square" (i.e a room 5m long and 5m wide) would, in theory, be equal to 25sq/m.

Oh the confusion! Forget the tiles and get some Karndean or Amtico down!:rotfl:

Why only in theory?

Errm - still got the same problem though.

Whaaat?? 25m2 Amtico at £ 30 a metre retail? Yeah right!

Dont' be sarcy. We've still got the same problem whether its ceramics, sheet vinyl, kardean etc or whatever because the OP still hasn't said what he means.

And you haven't answered why 5 x 5 is 25 "in theory". It isn't "in theory" it is in actuality.

Cheers.
