Measure, then add wastage
Quote the tiling area you measured, and allow for cuts and breakages when you work out how many tiles the customer needs to buy. Most tilers add around 10%, more for diagonal or herringbone layouts. If the customer is buying the tiles, tell them the quantity to order. It saves a second trip and a colour mismatch from a different batch.
Spell out the prep
The surface makes or breaks a tiling job. Say what's included:
- removing old tiles and making good;
- levelling or self-levelling a floor;
- backer board or plasterboard on walls;
- tanking in showers and wet rooms.
If you won't know the state of the walls until the old tiles are off, add a line such as "Any re-boarding needed after removal will be priced before work continues."
Layout and finish
Large format tiles, patterns and mosaics take longer, so quote them at the right rate. Note the grout colour and whether you're fitting trims, so there are no surprises on the day.
Who supplies what
Make it clear who's buying the tiles, adhesive, grout, trims and sealant. A line in the terms such as "Tiles supplied by customer, all other materials included" stops disputes over a few bags of adhesive.
Timing
Give the customer an idea of how long the bathroom or kitchen will be out of use, including grout and adhesive curing time.
Frequently asked questions
How much wastage should I allow for?
Around 10% is common for straight lay. Allow more for diagonal, herringbone or very large tiles.
Should I quote for tanking?
In showers and wet rooms, yes. List it so the customer knows it's included.
Do I need a deposit for tiling?
For larger jobs, especially if you're buying materials, a deposit is reasonable. Put it in the terms.
