Newcomer to the tiling trade

hello Kev...welcome from me

Hi Gazz, I've seen your name in quite a few of the posts, You're an experienced tiler I presume. I used to live in Lytham St Annes, my parents still do. This is a new career for me, I was in the IT industry for 30 years and got sick of it. The moneys good but not the job satisfaction. I've done a plumbing course and finished my tiling course today. I'm aiming at the bathroom fitting market so figured I'd get multiskilled.
Do you have any advice on tiling tools I'm going to need? I saw on one of the posts a starter kit for £99.00 without wet cutter. Is that good value?

Hi Brian, thanks for the welcome. I did the plumbing course near where I live, Reading. It was really good, gave me the basic understanding of a household water delivery system. Most of the course was hands on ( soldering, cutting, bending etc) with a bit of theory. Enough to give me the confidence to do a complete bathroom installation. The course costs £390.00 and was well worth the money. How about you? Is tiling your main trade or do you have others?

Kev
