I`m a slow worker too Macten. Plastered someones utility room recently and it was a room of 3m x 1.5m with a window and 2 doors. All four walls to do including going round some tricky pipework. Took me 1.5 days which i think is slow but at the end of the day i was happy with the end result but more importantly so was the customer who has now asked me to quote him for tiling his bathroom!

Turkish:thumbsup:

im doing a site at the moment in warrington which ive nealry finished since i started tiling ive worked on many sites for different housebuilders and i know rough work when i see it we never even spaced tiles on houses just butt jointed because we where told to and plus we were on 10m2 now im self employed i like working on private (domestics) when you work in domestic houses then you can unleash your potential and show how good a tiler you are when i work on private jobs i take a least 20-30 mins setting out centre evey wall depending on cuts centre the window cill again depending on cuts i like to leave a job think that looks the dog b*llocks and im happy with it and aswell the customer is after all i meant to provide a professional tiling service.

with the site job im on its alot to do with speed i was never a quick tiler and when i tried to be quick the end product wasnt up to my standard however now im on this site my speed has progressed and i can tile a 50 m2 bathroom it 3 days even with small 6x6 white tiles end of the day i have a time limit on each bathroom i always do a good job and the building firm are really pleased with the results and have offered me more work but i ll admit its a diiferent ball game on site work on site isnt all nessceraly rough but you tend to make it as easier as possible for you if you know what i mean
