[DHTiling]

Hi members... well mid feb, so just checking how you lot are finding work..?

Has it picked up for you now..?

 

[Ian]

Spot on here, 3rd week in May is my next available slot. Some really nice work as well, lots of trav, couple of wet rooms and best of all, most of this work is word of mouth and repeat business.

[White Room]

Actually it has,nt been that bad even for January and early Feb, keep my fingers crossed it keeps ticking over...although it's both tiling and plastering and even some metal systems but works work.

 

[Stewart]

All good here and booked up for quite a while now. Have one of my old apprentices doing some work for me too, though not to sure I want go down that route again.

Mad busy here still, I was working to 7 tonight!
I booked through to late may by looks and squeezing smallish job in now too.
I landed a 313m2 full house too.
I have Orla's( ooc, on here) big house started too, I spent 4 days there last week and tiled most of kitchen floor, diamond set hallway and a lovely living area.
Hoping to get back to here early next week.
A lovely customer and TF member.
So a surprising strong run of work for me, Im even doing a fancy bathroom this week with marble features.

February is better than January...........so hope March is etc.

ticking over fine here ,has been steady since xmas

 

[Mike]

still busy for me, i'm booked for next 5 weeks, i'm rarely booked further ahead than that as most people around here don't plan ahead. the amount of times i've been called 'hi mike, the suite's getting fitted tomorrow, when can you tile it?' :mad2:

 

[Spud]

steady for me booked for march now

Slow as yet, but the time is useful to make gallery and exhibition work. Commissions focus the mind though, so am missing that a bit. That and the cash of course. It's an artist's life, old story really.

 

[merit]

working week to week nothing too far ahead ,been busier than this time last year,
but seems to have dried a little, maybe its the north east dave?

 

[Gall.B]

Working mental hours again 8am-4.30pm back out 7pm-10pm doing stair repairs at Scottish Opera some work in a Glasgow museum and a lot of my own stuff on

 

[Perry]

had nowt since August but got 100 mtr and 240 mtr bricks bubbling in the next 2 3 weeks

 

[peckers]

work has been ticking over, not as booked up as far in advance as I was last year but still booked up for 6 weeks in advance so cant grumble. quite a mixture off work too so keeps things interesting. Taken today off to catch up on quotes and invoiceing as I have finished my last job earlier then expected.

 

[Del W]

Not fantastic,a few estimates in.one of them also includes painting & wood panelling aswell as tiling.Have done painting in the past but prefer to tile all the time,but with everyone doing other peoples trades its getting harder all the time.

 

[doug boardley]

still very slow here, got a 100 metre sandstone flagging job to start next week, weather permitting

 

[widler]

plenty of plastering for the lads,1 bathroom to do before next friday,im off up loch fyne diving for 4 days then a load more plastering and a bathroom and kitchen to tile.
ive been ok since the start of the new year,not broke any records,as long as the lads are working i don't mind having a day off now and again to,erm,clean the house(kill some kids on COD,xbox )

 

[Andy Allen]

started off quite, then got busy, and now its quite again.....got a couple of days next week, thats it, all trades are really quite round here, even the site guys can't string a full week together...

 

[John Benton]

Hardly had a day off since last September apart from a week at Xmas but it's really slowed down. Got quotes out there but no-one committing as yet

 

[peteablard]

Still really busy here. Just finished off one of the supermarkets we started earlier this year and now have a couple of days to chill out before the chaos starts. 200m floor starting Sunday, 1100m floor starts at the end of the week along with a 400, 500, And a few other floors ranging from 200-300 metres. Obviously this all commercial stuff, have slotted a few domestic jobs in but normally price myself out with them as too busy. Been very very lucky to get in with a decent company who give me as much work as I can handle so generally stick with them.

 

[CJ]

Flat out my way........busiest Jan/Feb/March I have had since I started out.

Recession.............Wot recession.

 

[IvegotsTILE]

Rammed at the minute,working 7 days a week and till 8 at night regulary. Got home at 8 on valentines and the missus went mental after cooking a great meal and baking a cake which ended up in the cat.Had to take a day off today for the girlfriends birthday and buy her an ipad just to get back in her good books.
Never had so much work on,alot of new contacts through recommondations. Very busy but loving it.
Me and bri seem to be the only busy ones in our town,a few busy plumbers but most trades dont have a lot on.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

:lol: I had to do a double take on that, I thought you were saying "the mrs went mad at me getting home at 8pm on Valentine's" and then "I had to take a day off, for the girlfriends birthday" now I see, one and the same.

 

[prceramics]

prob doing two days a week but just starting out so not to worried
