😡 Ive been self employed for only 2months, getting 1 job every 10 days and the money ive made on them jobs go on more tools which ive realised i need, YES im a new tiler but a passionate one. YES my redundancy money is dissapearing at a rapid rate. Ive met tilers who have been in the trade for years and for christ sake halve of there methods are from the stone age, I went to an opening of a new tile shop where the local tilers were invited and the atmosphere was ****ing terrible, I stood back as they slagged of each other! wheres the comradeship? I was in the army for twelve years and have never known owt like what ive witnessed. As for all you experienced tilers i have a lot of respect for you but you werent born with a with a trowel sticking out of your arse, you started somewhere too! Anyway got myself booked on a plastering course as my strike rate is only 50% when pricing up a job to getting it. Just remember not all new tilers are thick as pig ****, my work has been spot on and twice ive recieved more than i quoted.
 
some of the worst attrocities ive seen in tiling was so called tilers with 30/40 yrs exp!! its important to keep up with the latest tech but some of these guys dont want to know
 
People just dont realize that a good training centre teaches all the latest techniques as well as all the latest products on the market, not the stuff people used 30 years ago
 
Keep on slogging away - Marketing yourself is the key - have a read through the forum posts for some ideas - or ask away - we will help 🙂
 
Well said mate......... It's all they have ever done so let them have their little moment and then just walk away........ they think they are soooooooo clever. I was also in the Army so i know what you mean. I was also a Scaffolder for 10 years, i wonder how many of these could build a temporary roof 200ft in the air. Mind you they would probably tell you that you done it wrong anyway......... aaarrrrrgggg the blood boils just thinking of the smugness. Bet the could run a CFT too eh mate :wink_smile:
