Update: Tiling Job ( in need of business advice)

[mark1324]

Well i started my first tiling job with a company who does all the council flats. (done a tiling course) Been doing it for a while now. Everything seems to be going ok. Im now tiling 4 bathrooms a day thinking of setting up my own business. Was wondering what i would need to do to set up a business and get work ?

Thanks

4 Fully tiled bathrooms? wow, I am selling my tools then !

4 bathrooms a day :yikes: i take it thats just a splashback? it's hard out there at the moment, it's maybe not the best time to go it alone, especially if you have a full time job. to set up a business is relatively easy, to establish it and make it successful is a lot harder. the initial outlay will be expensive too, tools, van, insurances, advertising etc. you may be able to work for your employer on a self-employed basis to start off, 4 bathrooms a day should earn you a lot of money!

when you say 4 bathrooms, is this fully tiled around bath only , or half tiled around bath

Just make sure you get paid for the work your doing first - give it a few years and gain the experience you'll need to progress to the real world - increase your 30 posts and get into the Tilers Arms - then all the information you'll need will be at your finger tips.
