[Dougs Third Go]

[Andy Allen]

just me..........at one time I employed up to 10 subcontract tillers, doing site work and hotel re-vamps ect, those were the days when there were no h/s, cscs cards ect.....still nothing but hassle, it was a full time job keeping them in line, putting there work right, checking up on them, trying to stop then nicking your materials, really was more hassle than its worth and im much happier just looking out for myself..

 

[padtheplumber]

I employ 1 person - my kid brother! its good to have someone to help with the heavier stuff.

[On one]

Just me, haven't come across any body else that would put up with me being a such a pain in the derriere

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

I work mainly on my own, but do employ the odd lad for humping stuff around,unpacking mosaic,mixing S&C, grouting ,and anything i teach them to do, but as jobs are so up & down they move on ! same as when i get a really big job come -up i'am not in the position to take them on ! it can all be a pain in the rear sometimes LOL

 

[MTiler]

Im a one woman band , I have been let down by others as their work wasnt up to scratch (mainly with mosaics). But I do know another female tiler I worked with in the past and would have her help me again.
Its my reputation on the line, simples.

[william_cee]

I am out on my own too ... this is my 1st year been self-employed it has it good point and its bad points as well... I dont have to do repair work or some else snagging line ... like a regular trail of destruction what was happen before when working for big tiling companies in Glasgow.. Just finding work and keeping a steady run of it I am still struggling with.

[Stef]

Myself & my boy,

It's my mates son, had him out about 7/8 weeks now & he wants to learn.

He never realised tiling was as hard!!! Thought you just stuck them to the walls & floors..
He's on a steep learning curve.
