im 37 have done this for 6 years

played rugby for 27 years my body is a wreck

tiling is a very physical game
50 and just starting out is no joke i would not do it

sorry just being v honest

There's no doubt its a physical job, but if your fit enought then age isnt an issue,

My granded was a metal laithe turner, and made specialist parts for industrial wash systems, when he was 70 the company who he worked for still employed him because there was no one skilled enough to do his job.

The company closed and he was headhunted to another company because they too couldnt find anyone else younger who could do what he could.

He only retired when my gran fell ill and passed away.

He's 83 now and could still run rings around people 15/20 years younger than him.
