Its very easy to get the work in and win the contracts but finding the right people to do the work/be on your team of fitters representing you/your company and then also get them to keep to your high standards is almost impossible!!

I'm desperately seeking another 1 or 2 tilers to join our busy team but every "professional" tiler I give a chance to turns out to either cost me money through dodgy practice or they walk off the job leaving me looking a right .......

TJ never lets me down though....accept for putting Gold on the radio!!!! Whats that all about????
TJ doesn't have a radio....he's got a wireless :)

If I had to listen to your Absolute Rock each day I'd stay in the North East and let you do all these 100square Metre floors on your own.
Never done so many big tiles 1200mm and 800mm and if it wasn't for my son I couldn't pick them up so I put up with his Heart wireless station.
Give me more little Victorian Geometric.

no I won't name & shame, but to be honest, we had 3 projects coincide for different reasons, I had already quoted this project and the start date I couldn't cover, and as it would have been a good contact to have, I thought I'd chance my arm and sub it out, rather than totally them by not doing it. hey ho, some you win, some you lose.. I just wish he would have persevered and completed it, if he had the know how like he professed, and not blamed it on, I can't earn on this job ! unprofessional comes to mind
on the Brightside, I have taken on someone else from here, seems good, we'll see... hahha

Hahaa yes I do blame myself for taking him on.. but in the same breath. . Why portray yourself to be a high end tiler after numerous conversations ie.. are you sure because if you're not.. I won't take this site on.. it was only 3 bathrooms 50 metres of mosaics and wet floors. . This is the first problem I have had with taking people on from here..

Mr Tiler

but in all seriousness, I don't think "name and shame" is the way to go, we've had these issues to deal with before and until the member voluntary comes forward and puts his side forward we're only getting one side to the story and a possible lynch mob too.
that would not be the case if you knew it was me lol
