hours worked

[graham31]

dono if this has been asked before but in a good week how many hours do you work and how many days?Same question for lets say a average week

[Fekin]

All depends on what jobs are on really and how quickly people want them completing.

Generally I won't work more than 12 hours a day.

[charlie1]

I would work 50-60 hrs in a good week. Lately thing are very quiet though.

[LM Ceramics]

on a average week about 45-50 but like fekin say no more than 12 hours unless theres a deadline dont want to go into an early grave

[whitebeam]

A good week about 9 hrs a day more if needed, Again five days a week. Hardly at home before 6, Mind you at the moment it's far less than normal

[garythetiler]

depends on what you see as good i think its good if i dont have to work on saturday ,if you are going after the domestic work you wont be getting home before 6.30 most days as you have to spend so much more time setting up and packing away than doing site work so an average week will be 50 hrs you need far more tools than a site tiler and a newer van as image is important at that end of the market when you are busy it can be 12-14hr days 7 days a week even ghosters sometimes to get things finished tiling is not what you could desribe as an easy trade you need to high attention to detail cleanliness and to deal with the public its often messy and you are often waiting around for adhesives to dry ,it is very rewArding and you get alot of job satifaction from it and after a few years you will start to make money at it

I am a great beleiver that your own body will tell you when its time to go home.Ialso try not to work weekends if possible but sometimes needs must.I do this because the last job i was in was 6 days as i had to make the money,now i make a certain amount and i am happy,if i want something or have something to pay then i will squeeze in more work but will try not to p..s myself off in the process.

[IvegotsTILE]

I agree 100% with Gary and Brian,Sundays are also a no no in my book.

[Saltire69]

Normally 10hr shifts but this means i can finish early Friday(sometimes). If i have a couple off days off through the week i will work the weekends.

[whitebeam]

Gary mentioned a word I hav'nt heard for years "A ghoster" Done few of them in my time

On site for 8am. Work 'till half five. Only stop long enough to eat. Usually work at least 6 days a week. Farm in what time i get at the end of the day.

I usually do whatever it takes to get the job done!
