No better place. Well recommended.

cdt is the best mate and the course should advise you on the square meter price. have you booked the course yet, if not have a look at the north east tiler training website. did my course there and thay learn you everything from tiling to how to run your business.

good luck bud

Rub it in, why don't ya!! I'm in Lee's boat... At least half hour (probably more like 45 mins) to the nearest CTD.

Ha ha ha, gateshead branch approx 2-2 1/2 miles away and the newcastle branch maybe about 6 miles away if that.if ya think about it,say in a 10 mile radius of gateshead we have, CTD Gateshead,CTD newcastle,Topps tiles Birtley,Jamies Tiles newcastle,Classic tiles newcastle, Nortile newcastle,Tile it all Gateshead and a few more others,so potential customers have a lot of outlets to look at

mosaic girl have you used direct tile importers at all. they werent too bad when i used them.
