What makes a good tiler

Random question , in your opinion what makes a good tiler............

 

[Qwerty]

So many, but patience is one that springs to mind. Every tradesman on site always comments they could never be a tiler as they don't have the patience

 

[John Benton]

It's a mixture of things for me. Creative mind, attention to detail, knowing what products to use for the situation, cleanliness, accuracy, patience, being able to handle customers and so on.

 

[One Day]

Someone whose prime motivation is the satisfaction of producing something good.
Not just someone chasing after money.

(oh, and a Sigma user!)

 

[White Room]

Having the patience of a saint at times....

A satisfied customer and attention to details

Attention to detail and knowledge !!!

 

[Dougs Third Go]

being brave enough to turn a job down if customer won't listen to preparation concerns.

Putting your work in straight ,level,plumb and square with even sized joints set with good coverage and sensible set out and zero lip page , grouting the work cleanly with full joints then polishing the job and finishing with good silicone work get the above part right and keep your work area tidy and do it at adequate economical pace then you will be a good tiler
