hello and welcome...........it really depends upon your area , some seem to be busy in the domestic side of things then others on the commercial side seem not to be.......so keep it touch with this thread and it should give you some idea what the market is like at the moment........

I've, fortunately, been flat out this year and have the next 5 weeks covered (all domestic). Stuck a kitchen floor today and have to grout it tomorrow morning, 'cos the punter wanted it done rapid and this weekend was all I could spare.

Got to quote for 40m2 of Marble floor this weekend (got the lead via trustedtradesmen, so thanks Dave!).

I'm knackered!!

Been a nightmare on my body last month or so just havnt stopped, up this early on a Sunday cause i have a bathroom to finish (although i am an hour late, bloody clocks!).

Think because of the xmas slump a lot of tilers packed it in because it seems every builder i speak to "cant get hold of a tiler".
Going to be working 7 days next week aswell, pass the deep heat

I was quiet following Xmas and ticked over until a couple of weeks ago. Now it's starting to go a bit mad again.

Hopefully I can start planning ahead soon to take someone on to help out on a casual basis soon.

Looking good so far....!

Well Dave, here in north Germany lots of tilers work during winter and early spring in flats and hotels in seaside towns of the north sea and baltic sea coast, because of 2 things...
1. During this time the flats/hotel rooms are free for renovations and modernisation,
2. From late spring to early autumn those towns don´t allow loud works due to their reputation as a health resort & quiet area.

Is it same so in UK? Regards, Martin:8:

No. We are not so "civilised" any more!
