Any tilers on here working in spain now? Or have before? - Page 2 - TilersForums.co.uk | Tile Forums

I've never "inspected" the tiling in Spain, but I did notice it when I went to Turkey last year, and most of what I saw I could have done a far batter job.

There again you never know, they might be paid £2 a sqm or summit daft and just throw them on.

would go self employed in spain you can make reasonable money on pricework if you can find work, if you work for a company you`ll get paid peanuts

My wife and I have been looking to relocate to Spain for a while now, The only thing holding me back is not getting regular work, I have been tiling for 11 yrs and do get very regular work so i feel it's a huge risk. Altough I would deffinatly accept some advise from anyone with experiance.

I have just joined this site and so far think it's very usefull.

Hi I’ve lived in Spain for the last 5 years now, apart from the odd trip back to do contract work during the summer months when everything around where i live shuts up for at least a month, materials are cheap, and usually of a high quality, although I’ve not just stuck to tiling, to keep work coming in out here you need to diversify into other trades, and with a steady stream of work and good refrences you can charge a decent amount that is more than necessary for a comfortable life out here.

HI Nick.i lived in the Valencia region and worked as a tiler for two years,have you tried the inland trader and such like papers? I found i got some work out of this paper,but the best way is putting up cards in all the english bars and clubs and shops.It is pretty hard finding work there as i`m sure your finding out! Contact as many builders as you can.Hope it goes well.Ben
