There is definately work out there! Furthermore the purchase of Natural Stone is on the increase especially with the advent of shops like Porcellanosa springing up in every town and city in Britain. However laying it completely flat with zero lippage gets difficult especially with large format stuff 600 x 600 and bigger and crap substrates to boot.

The problem is the public go abroad and see a huge beautiful Marble, Granite or similar floors in a hotel and villas and think they can come back here and have the same. What they don't realise is the majority of these floors with a monolithic look are laid with 1mm grout gaps, grouted with flexible floor grout and then ground, honed and polished in situ to achieve the look.
