Realistically you could earn about 30k per year TOP. Especially with the amount of competition out there now. 3 or 4 years ago I think this would have been very achievable.

I worked for a guy that used to charge us both out for the week at around £1500 - £2000 and we'd get it. We'd do a bathroom for 2k from top to bottom with new suite (not in with the price obviously) and electric underfloor heating and all sorts - we'd actuall make on all products and materials too. Costing the customer between 3k and 5k - with my gaffa making about 2k and me the 500 quid lol.

It is achievable if you sell extras like tiles and adhesives etc on every job you can and you have good contacts, you can up sell to adding design work into the job for extra money, what people forget is that you have to be a salesman before you are a tiler, if you dont sell your work, doesnt matter how good a job you would have done, someone else is doing it and making your money. Think every way you can on how you can earn exras from the job, thats what i teach, thats when you will notice the money comming in, had a lad ring me last week to say that he made £150 profit on the tiles and £60 on adhesives before he even started doing the job, Think like that.

Big Floors is what you need to get the dosh in, ive just given a job to two tilers who are on a 1200 metre shopping centre floor in aderdeen at the moment, they are pulling in about £400 per day each, £18 per metre, 600x600 tiles, no grouting to be done as well, they are getting the polish in to grout up. Plenty jobs like that is what you need, again have the right contacts is the key

Default Re: earn £45k+ per year

45 k per year in any trade is possibel but it requires planning, contacts, experience, and a real will to work hard and be very motivated. we are facing a tough few years so maybe it will be harder to achieve than in the past. if this kind of money is to be achieved then i believe high end domestics, ie wetrooms, natural stone fixing, bathroom design supply and fit is the key. or site work with no obstacles and decent meterage prices but speed is a big big factor and the older pros will make more than the newer brigade due to their experience and technique.

one word of advice i would give to any new tiler/plasterer whatever is....dont listen to tiling training centers when it comes to 'how much can i earn a year'. these guys are in the business to make money from you!!!!!! they will happily profess all day long to the amount you can earn becaue they want you to jump on board and train with them. honestly, if they were so happy and fulfilled tiling, then why did they stop doing it and decide to fast track train people. the answer is, there is far far more money to be made making money from newbies than there is in tiling!! isnt that right darren?

listen to the people who are on the sites or who are tiling for a living , who are actually out there with years of experience like dave, pj, mz etc etc.

hope you do make your 45k, just be open minded and look to expand when the opportunity arises..
