I don't like working for neighbours, they want you to work for nowt!
And you get no peace at the pub, as everyone thinks you love your job that much you want to talk about their tiling/ plumbing problems while your having a beer.

bet no one asks solicitors or accountants! They would send a bill.
 
Did a job 20 miles away a few months ago and their next door neighbour was a tiler, but they said he had a lot of days off so must be ****e :lol:

We have a thread/poll for that don't we :D ha ha

Thought I would update this thread and take back what I said!
A few weeks later I got a call from the new neighbour asking if I would be interested in tiling their kitchen. Of course I strolled over there and quoted for kitchen wall and floor tiling and got the job.
While I was there they then saw I advertised bathroom installation so I quoted for that next and got that too! All the time thinking what the hell did the other tiler do over here! Anyway half way through fitting the bathroom they then mentioned they want the hallway tiling and they then showed me their conservatory hidden round the back which the other tiler had done. So tiled their hallway to match!
A fair bit of work in the end!
I asked why they didn't get the other tiler back and they just said they would rather use local and just hadn't noticed my van! Must stop parking it in front of that white wall!
