your tile shop

[brian c]

Are you getting any work from your local tile shop that you buy adhesive from and tiles etc?

Not had a job from mine this year.rrr:Had a word last week.The leading question was have you been busy? yes the reply but no-one wanting work done?rrr:

I know my topps is taking a thrashing and the excuse is its after xmas. Surprisingly there is a fair bit of private work going on but a lot of sites have slowed. Have seen this b4 shops are slow but because there are a few of them about the work is still there for us.

was our discussion on tuesday behind this question?
your obviously not bribing or brown-nosing the staff enough lol!
am getting a fair bit the now,especially a few supply and fit jobs when there moaning about the prices they have to pay,usually seals the deal when i can use my trade and save them a few quid!

 

[brian c]

yes Davy,it did promt me but i wanted to know what others were getting...thankfully im still busy with my own work but always wanting to be one step ahead of the rent man...lol

 

[david campbell]

Used to get work from a local independent where I bought there materials, It then suddenly stopped. It then gave me the freedom to buy materials where I can get the best price rather that rely on some rank addy, I won't be beholdent to anyone any more just do my own thing

Bit hit and miss with work from tile shops I visit, get the odd job passed my way when I threaten to take my business elsewhere ! They always have their favourites & I have been reliably informed that one gives most of their work to a particular tiler in return for back handers

Thats where it stands, there's guys that do a few posts on here for work probably never heard of again. If I had work to pass on it would be with guys on here, the regular ones.

I have spent thousands at the shop in question !!

The same with the shop I used go to and spent loads of money, we tiled a subway and I told the mate who had the job to go to this shop for the addy, some people have bad memories

I've had more recommendations from my local plumbers merchant than my tile shops!
Tile shops have too many 'mouths' to feed

I agree, tile shops tend to have their favourites usually the guys who have been going there for many years. Also of the 4 tile shops in Halifax, one has its own employed fixer and another has it's own tiler ( he is married to the woman who owns the shop )
