    You need to ring all your local builders, plumbers and go to all your local kitchen fitting companies, conservatory companies, tile shops and introduce yourself, don't tell them you have just started tiling, say you have just moved to the area thats why they havent heard of you and could they give you a chance to show them that you are the best tiler in that area. Good luck

    Ok mate, As you asy you have just started up you best be carefull. All of the above methods of finding work are very usefull and will find you work but as you have little experience of tiling then you need to find the right work for you. Dont take on anything you cant handle until you get more experience. If i where you i would do leaflet drops. Avoid builders , kitchen, bathroom companys to start with until you gat a bit more sure of yourself.

    Good luck
