A laying wage per m2 or agreeing on a rate for the complete job is the best choice for you. You have to hope that he works hard and has no setbacks or surprises. Suppose you pay the tiler by the hour. You have to pay for it.

A fixed price is a good option. If you are comfortable with that fixed price for the tiling, whether that is a price per square m or a full total price, you always know exactly in advance where you stand. Many factors determine the cost price.

First, the laying wage per m2 is known by the material from which the tile is made. For example, natural stone is more expensive to install than ceramic tiles. Also, the costs of purchasing natural stone are a lot higher than ceramic tiles.

The essential, the laying wage per m2, is determined by the laying bond you want. The more complicated the dressing, the more work and the more expensive it will be.

Finally, this laying wage per m2 is determined by the tile's size—the bigger the tile, the more expensive the laying wages.

Different choices you make can significantly affect the price of floor tiles. We would like to list the essential decisions for you.

Initially, you can choose between ceramic tiles and natural stone. Ceramic tiles are made from clay. These are made in the factory and can be provided with a glaze layer. That ensures that they are available in all possible colours. There are also ceramic tiles for sale that have a particular version. Consider, for example, so-called wood-look tiles or tiles with the appearance of natural stone. Opting for ceramic tiles is, in any case opting for a low-maintenance tile that you will therefore have little to worry about this.

Terracotta tilesBetween £10 & £30poundsBrown tones
Cement tilesBetween £50 & £70poundsDifferent effects or colourful patterns
Another option outside of ceramic floor tiles is natural stone floor tiles. Natural stone is a unique product with an exceptional appearance because it is formed by nature. For this reason, the earth layers can always be seen in the tile and fossils (sometimes). The natural stone floor tile is trendy because it is a timeless product.

In addition to the type of floor tile, the impregnation and the PEI value must also be considered. For impregnating ceramic floor tiles, for example, when they will be regarded as an impregnation agent of about £30per litres must be taken into account. In turn, the PEI value determines the appearance of your tile and how durable it is precisely. Note that the higher the PEI value, the more expensive the tile in question will be.




The next choice you have to make concerns the placement of the tiles. Are you going to install them yourself, or do you choose to call on a professional tiler? In the latter case, you should consider a price that can vary from £15 to £40 per square meter or per hour, depending on the type of project. Would you like a consultation with a tiler? In that case, a price of £40 will be charged. This cost is usually deducted when you hire a tiler in question.

In principle, a tiler always charges a price per square meter. However, this does not apply to special laying dressings. Then it is not easy to estimate the time required, which means that an hourly rate is charged. You can choose between a full brick bond, a stretcher bond, and a diagonal bond.

The fifth and final choice concerns tile skirting—that type of skirting costs between £25 and £45 per square meter. The price for the material and installation by a tiler is already included in this amount. Choosing tile skirting boards achieves a perfect finish for the floor.
