Hello everyone,
My names Fraser I have been in the motor trade for 17 years, after falling out with cars daily for the last few years i fancied a change. I have been on a weeks beginners tiling course to refresh my skills, I have done a few DIY jobs in the past and helped some joiner friends with kitchen splashbacks, bathrooms but nothing in depth tiling wise. I am currently setting up my own company and going to give it a shot at doing tiling full time while putting myself through the proper qualifications and working.
Just thought I'd introduce myself as I will probably have questions over the next while.
Thanks for reading
Fraser

Thank you,

Have you been in the tiling game long "Tile Marble Granite?
I haven't got any pictures of jobs I've completed yet as all of jobs with joiner were years ago. I have pictures from my tiling course but your bound to have seen them more times than you've had hot dinners. Here you are anyway. Not that special as its only styles really. I have 6 or 7 family and friends bathrooms and kitchens to complete over next 2 months so will post them when finished.

Over two decades and counting. Always start tiling from the middle to get big cuts on both sides and the walls need be sitting on top of the floor, that will eliminate the gaps. Your best bet is to tile the floor first then the walls.

Ahh good stuff so you've seen most things over that stretch then. Brilliant thanks for the advice mate 👍 again I would like to learn more through online courses and stuff but have been told hands on is the best approach.

Yeah planning on getting a few tools over the next few weeks. Vitrex power pro wet saw but new blade is my thinking for a wet saw. Got around 200 all in for blade and saw.
