Whats business like for newbies?

[DEN]

Hi there was just wondering what busness is like for new tilers at he moment.Did the NETT course last year but didnt make a go of it,i have all the tools and everything and just wanted to gauge what is happening out there,hopefully you are all getting some kind of work at the moment and with some encouragement hopefully i can get going this year BTW all the best to everyone..

All the Best Den,to be honest i dont think now is the right time for someone to start up as self employed as their is not a great deal of work around for anyone,not just newbies,i know i got some jobs for January and a few of my contracts,but a few of the lads have no work on at all for january.This is only my opinion,but i would be surprised to hear people disagree.

I have to agree with Medlar here Den i only tile part-time and it's extremely quite atm. If you haven't got contacts and jobs lined up it could be very difficult for you.

Test the water in your area mate, but I really wouldnt give up your job at the moment, work is very scarce for some people at the moment.
