How much to tile a conservatory floor?

As above really. Labour only, existing floor is chipboard, area approximately 7 Sq Mtrs.

can depend on type and size, and how many spares you have. But £200-300 sounds about right. I think chipboard will need boarding with waterproof ply first.

Depends on the tiler. I was using one last year at £35/m, but that was on real high end stuff!

So £245?

He's dropped his prices significantly now!

we charge 40 a square m for fllors including all board adhesives and grout...
and were allways busy and dont let them use anything thinner than 9mm ply either.

DO not tile straight on to chipboard, unless A/ its a floating floor and B/ its P4 board. If its P5 your wasting your time tiling onto it.

Adhesive wise you need a flexible one and there are two types, single and two part. The single I only use for porcelain tiles onto concrete, have had it let go in the past when tiling to timber.

Youll need flexible grout, or a standard grout with an admix. Former is better.

If the floor is suspended then it will need either plying over, 10mm WBP is fine, or sheeting made by Shluter, (expensive but not so much of a hieght build up)

Anything else you need to know then U2U me.

Dont need to PVA if using the right adhesive. Never PVA'd a floor, only walls and thats a different adhesive!
