Default Re: Chase Tiling Academy - Cannock, Staffordshire

I like that picture .
I trained last year at chase did the two week course it was a very good course and a lot of fun .
Hi Phil and Anthony by the way.
Its Paul Hadfield (excellent bathrooms)
I no I only did the two week course so didn't get the full knowledge .
Since leaving I would say that I have been accused of over preparing by my dad but I have been trying to follow the instructions from chase to the letter however this seems to mean jobs take me allot longer than others who just get tiling no pva etc.
Saying that I have not had any problems on any job except as a result of rubbish adhesive so now I try to stick with bal grip etc.
Also I have had to totally disregard the pricing structure laid out in the manual first two times I did it I was working for not very much money.
I know someone who charges £35 a meter for anything I tend to work on days .
My worst job was a very small downstairs toilet that had had lining paper over artex but it had been done that well it looked like it was plastered. I did not know about it till I started prepping that job took 3 days longer than I expected .
Lesson now learned.
I would defiantly recommend this tiling course for learning how it should be done properly .
I think prepping is something you have to learn about on the job.
