[Dan]

Well that's certainly changed then.

What did they take away @GaryTheTiler ?

It's not expensive to join only 150 at the moment for new members

Can you state what criteria you had to produce to join. ?

 

[judge]

Last 5 job invoices.the e mails of two recent customers. Two recent job addresses and name and address of a time served trader ( preferably a tiler) I used a kitchen fitter!

 

[Qwerty]

It is a no brainier really. Claim the cost back off of the tax man

No existing member introduction then

I might join. Although I'm currently a member of the Fsb and I don't use them for nothing really. But I guess the tta would be more appropriate.

Federation of Small Businesses is totally different. And much bigger I dare say.

I've been a member for over 3 years and I've had about a dozen good jobs from the TTA. Just secured another on friday which is removing 75m2 of de-bonded 600x600 porcelain and re tiling which was laid last year by a building company.

The TTA is worth being a member of, to give you back up, if things go wrong and it ends up in court , as long as you have fixed by the book, and the prep ( your responsibility ) is correct.
They will independently assess your work, and in court, as a professional body, this will go for you.
As opposed to clients, getting in their own assessor ( tiler ) and making a report against you, you can insist that the TTA assess the project, if they refuse access, you have great grounds for a claim / counter claim

Not really Glen ,
Sometimes a court will want an in dependant expert witness , if you are a TTA member then the TTA cannot be classed as Independant as you are part of the TTA it happened to Phil Hobson

hmmmm... really.. that's disappointing.. i'll have a re-think on my opinion then...

 

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

ok what does the tta do look after surpliers pushes forward product after product i once suggested that we should have indepedent testing for our members to balance bouth sides the look of horror that tilers might
might just get a chance to prove a product was not fit for purpose .untill there is balance of power that will put as much effort in to looking after tiler as it does surpliers .tta not fit for purpose .and when a product goes wrong they keep it to themselfs and do not inform the whole tilling world only members.shame on them

The general rule of thumb is when you lower the criteria to get in, you lower the standards of the applications.
NOT always but statistically.

Anyway, if you believe you are a good tiler and you feel that the benefits out ways the initial cost, then do it. What harm can it do? If you don't think it's worth it, then crack on doing what works for you.
