Branch out and change or get left behind. Unfortunately it is that simple. May not be right but it is fact.

Aye you have a point there Dave , I just think its a shame really that we are not able to stick to our own, but like you say times are changing whether its for the better, well me I dont think it is , too many people making a mess of other trades jobs and getting our trade a bad name, but as I say thats just my opinion, now waiting for the onslaught lol:sofahide:

Onslaughts... Lol .. No that's the multi traders .... (Joke).... :lol:

 

[dave l and l]

multi traders generally equates to handymen. sometimes pretty good. do but im my experience they are usually pretty poor
joiner being a plumber/tiler and calling themselves a bathroom specialist,

Ouch !

 

[dave l and l]

ha ha i might get a hiding for that , but i will stand by it, not saying everybody but in my experience i would say the workmanship is of poorer quality than someone who sticks to one trade.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

That's what the forum is about - opinions!
I just tile, but I've worked for some bathroom fitters who do the whole job, and indeed project managed the compete job, and I understand why customers want 1 man to do the job.
The way some bathrooms are left for us to tile is nothing short of disgraceful!
Job we're on a present is a wet room, so why would they emulsion the walls! I wouldn't say the plastering was bad but he was paid off yesterday!! There's no lights in any of the rooms and the tiles are rectified.
Some people couldn't organise a piste up in a brewery.

 

[Dave]

Does the phrase " A good tiler can get over that " come to mind TJ . LOL .LOL.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I'am just a tiler Dave!
When I spend 2 hours washing emulsion off a wall and I look out the small wet room window at the rain chucking it down, it says something when I wish I was outside!
