One of the biggest arguments we use to the big chains is that a lot of tilers do it as a second income.
We are trying to convince them there is room in the market for expensive equipment like Rubi, Armeg, Macrist. But also room for value for money tools too...
The responses you get back from them you would imagine they view every
tiler as a full time, seven day a week career man doing hotel and airport jobs.
Still a lot of convincing to do... But I recon tiling as a second income is more common than they think.
Come on Travis-Perkins, Jewsons, PTS Plumbing, Woolsey Group, see the real info for yourselves....
