Flooring

Post by jonboy »

We are thinking of replacing all the floor tiles throughout our villa. Clearly cost of tiles depends on many factors, but can anyone give me an indication of cost to rip up old and replace new in terms of labour per sq metre.... There is around 250sq metres

Thx

We recently did this as part of a larger renovation. I looked back through the quote and the demolition and disposal of the old flooring was EUR7.00/sq. mtr. Installation along with the purchase of the stone (creme marfil) was Eur61/sq. mtr.

Thank you Traveler. With your renovation did you also look at replacement windows?

No, the house already had new windows. We also added on and purchased new windows for the addition. We went to MetaloAlgoz.

Hi Jonboy,

If you want windows I can recommend a company that I used in Tunes, family business, they did a great job at almost half the price that I had quotes for, if you are in Carvoeiro next week you are more than welcome to see what I have had done.

That's what's great about this Forum - people helping people with good honest advice and guidance.

It all works well until those with dishonest intentions muscle in - the name Day or is it Mazza springs to mind - at least we are all on our guard now :)

shanagarry. (and anyone else involved with this)

yes i agree that this a good forum for alerting people to dishonest business practices but i would ask you to be clearer with your assumptions that all people with the surname 'DAY' are therefore dishonest...

i have a 'successful' and 'honest' business that i have run here for many years now as a resident so please be clear with your future accusations and do not brand all people called 'DAY' as criminals...

thankyou.

if you took a little time to read and absorb my message you would see that it is totally on the mark with its subject matter.
