hi everyone.

been tiling 6 months now, work starting to come in (very slowly).

any ideas / tips on how you all got your names about and built up a client base.

also does anyone know how to approach councils, schools etc. ive heard you need to be on a tender list ??? but not sure how to go about it.

any help really appreciated.

thanks

Hi mate, everybody is in the same boat when they first start. Try ringing plumbers, builders, tile shops etc. Stay away from council work i have done some and its not nice, rates are poor plus some of the houses you have to work in are really horrible. Good luck

Hi and welcome, you'll just have to do some leg work and introduce yourself to people, conservatory companies, kitchen installers etc..Mark.

Hi and welcome. I think this is probably one of the most difficult parts of starting a business and can usually only come with time and gaining a good name.

Hi and welcome, Most of my work comes plumbers and other trades I know over many years, Plumbers would be where I make a first contact. No to council work.
