has the credit crunch affected your business

**Tilers, Tiling & Tiles** · 03-12-2008

I think we're seeing a lot more (now it's December! - apologies for the lack of replies here lol) people holding back on their luxuries, new bathrooms and kitchens included.

Not too sure if the new VAT cutback will help that many types of businesses to be honest either.

I took a job about 8 weeks ago working in a factory due to having no work monies ok £10 an hour but it's really boring, anyway had loads of calls in the past two weeks for tiling am flat out at the weekends but am relutant to give my job up because it's a steady wage have to see what happens it's very dodgy out there at the moment.

There is work there but some serious cut price quotes going in.

I might go back to the oilrigs in the new year.....

I offered a job out on here and the first two replies I got thought my price was too low...
Personally I thought for a weeks worth of work (at most) the money was quite good. Seems ppl are still looking for the work but arent prepared to take slightly less even with the current climate

**david campbell** · 03-12-2008

still seems to be plenty of work out there ,only thing is jobs are getting smaller i.e customers are tiling just 2 walls in a bathroom instead of the 4,spent slightly more on advertising though
