How busy are you? - TilersForums.com

Morning everybody,

Just thought id pop by say hello has been a while since I last visted.

How is everybody coping out there?

I suffered a very slow start to the year although working everyday it wasnt my own jobs. Within the space of 3 days the phone went manic I am now currently booked up for the next 4/5 weeks. Has it been like this for any one else? Where are you based?

Although sat at home today this is due to typical customers ordering the wrong things.

All the Best

Luke

I am quite the opposite, been crazy busy for last 4 months but very quiet now. I know only too well that it can all change with one phone call....well I hope it will anyway.

Very quiet got 2 full bathroom refurbs on this month but only done 6 full refurbs this year! Been mostly bit here and there! Would go cards in (if there were any jobs)! Loads of local lads the same, merchants are empty! Merseyside seems dead! Too many so called (plumbers)me thinks

too many handymen running about
i have been busy since jan, but its starting to slow up now not had a phone call in a while, got about two weeks then nothing after.
i cant understand it. the only reason i can think is that people are looking for a holiday rather than a tile job,

up and down like a yo-yo, this is by far the worst ive known it in 30yrs, so far this year dont think ive been more than 2 weeks booked up, competing against handy men that charge a pitence and there work reflects that, builders and plumbers that instead of subbing tiling out or not doing it, have a bash at it for beer tokens ...

[White Room]
