Who's got their Tiling NVQ now? - Tile Advice

[Prem Tiler]

I'll prob be shot here but I think the idea behind it is a good idea. The need for an NVQ is to gain a CSCS card which you will need by law to work on any building site.

It could if not abused go towards the licencing of tilers. Yes, licencing will cost us a few quid but I will do more to eradicate cowboys than anything else.

In Scotland you need a licence to be a window cleaner, A job famous for cowboys but its made a huge difference up there.

i never get a eceipt when i give him my £4 Dean..:smilewinkgrin: sure they are! :smilewinkgrin:

 

[foxman]

well you shouldnt be so hideously clever!!!

 

[Prem Tiler]

There are still some out there but all with licences have to have insurance. If a window cleaner without insurance has an accident on your property you are liable for damages because you employed a non insured contractor. Probably the same with tilers. I don't know to be honest.

I use a talk to a few scottish window cleaners and they all think there's more work out there now there's less cowboys and they can charge better prices as people know there paying a professional.

I aint got one, no one has ever mentioned it over here.

gooner you will need one to work on sites from some date in 2010.

You need one now for site work or you will get the basic card, I took mine two years ago because I did not want a cscs card saying I was a Labourer, with the NVQ you will get an experienced worker card. It is for site work but I think it will go further and cover domestic work in the near future the same as part p and corgi and that can only be good for this Industry.
