Right I've gone for small amounts, but I hardly advertise really and I had to clear my jobs I had booked when I sliced my thumb and they didn't want to wait, but now I have a couple of jobs in the pipeline, but phone isn't ringing off the hook, but as I said, I hardly advertise.

I'm neither busy or quiet (compared to last year)

I would put "the same"

IE business as usual.

same my self

in 10 years of self employment this is my worst year to date, i do a lot of site work and work for interior designers both have mothballed projects, ive had lots of calls from other tilers i know asking for work but ive got very little myself

im a contractor and had 6 lads last year down to one now an hes had enough hes going taxying...its looking grim in manchester

 

[White Room]

Slow but do plastering as well so tends to fill the week out

 

[andy-p]

business as usual for me , but i wouldnt like to be starting out as a tiler right now.. been talking to staff in some local tile shops, things are slow for them but what i noticed was the sheer volume of tile cards on the counters, and seemingly a lot of them havent a clue either according to the staff, one shop has even put up a disclaimer , not accepting any responsibility for work done from these cards.. seems everybody and their granny thinks its easy to be a self employed tiler but they are in for a fright !! hope i ve not put any new tiler on this forum off too much if your good and committed you should get there ...
