I need some help please. My kitchen needs re-tiling. It’s approximately 1m high and 9m long in three sections. I assume that is 9square metres?
the tiles I want cost 30sq metre, so that’s around £270 and say another £100, for odds and sods, is that correct?
thanks

No.
You need to allow for cuts and matching any patterns - 10-20% extra is typical... 9 sq.m to cover will -> 11 sqm to purchase. Maybe more if there are sockets and switches in awkward locations wrt the pattern.
Best to buy on sale or return to get the same batch / colour match so buy a bit more, possibly.
Speak to your tiler they will advise what they want/need/prefer and may even be able to get the same tiles cheaper as part of the whole job.
