Hi has anyone on here or does anyone on here do tiling on modular homes in a factory on a production line? Just wondered if it was easy work difficult how it all works.
Cheers josh

Sounds like you might have a job offer?

It is quite common place now with ‘pods’ being built for holiday homes things like that.
far as I’m aware, it’s no different to any other work.

Yes I have so just weighing up my options it seems like a good opportunity.

I came out of the interview thinking of a load of questions I wanted to ask haha I am.used to a certain way of doing things so just wanted to know how they work in there with things such as tile cutters whether they still use your normal flat bed wet cutter and s straight cutter.

I know there is time scales to work to aswell so I just wondered if there is much tiling in the bathrooms they make but I know everyone will.be different of course. These are things I should of remembered to ask them while I was there haha

I’ve no experience personally, but I’d imagine if done in a sensible manner (doubtful tho) tiles will compliment size of room for the speed of install. And whilst there maybe some small changes to what you’re used to, if you’re an experienced tiler, then it’ll be an easy transition.
But it’s guesswork on my part.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing but until I go for the induction I'm blind to it all so I'll just have to go for it and take a risk. Thanks for your advise.

No worries, I wouldn’t worry too tough, it’s just the unknown.
I remember when I applied for a job working in North Africa back in the eighties.
I was worried sick before hand, I hate to fail, I was concerned I’d make myself look like a fool.
Haha what an idiot I was, I could have done the job in my sleep.
So don’t worry yourself until you know there’s something to worry about.
If you get stuck, come back and someone will be able to guide you I’m sure.
Good luck.

Thankyou for your advice it has put me at ease I agree with everything you said. My decision doesn't seem as scary now moving to North Africa is a little bit different haha cheers

Yes but Marc only went over to Africa to survey the way monkeys eat bananas! He came back with the easy way. Even got the camouflage on.
