Check this out: Tradesmen Directories (Find a Tradesmen Type Websites) - Blogs - Contractor Forum | Construction and Redevelopment Advice for Professional Contractors and Tradesmen)

And have a good search in the TilersForums Arms, loads of tips in there. Though I'm sure you'll get lots of replies here too.

you want to be going in to your local tile shops, builders yards, plumbing stores in person so people will remember your face, leave business cards with them

[Aqua Tiling]

well, you was..........lol

[Aqua Tiling]

i know what your saying doug, but at the min, with no work, i have no need to go in there, and where i live, theres only one builders yard

[enduro]

well, you was..........lol

I have two months work booked in at the moment....You were saying..

[doug boardley]

print some flyers/leaflets and do the pavement treading then mate, shoving leaflets through letterboxes might not be everyones idea of fun, but if it brings one job for every five hundred flyers it's time well spent imo

[enduro]

Have you tried Padstones tiles, they are near Alpine, Patrick is the guy you need to talk to and he is only there after 1pm, Just dont tell him you have just finished a course, or mention Gary as they dont get on with each other.

[enduro]

You need to get up around Bodiam, Northiam, Tenterden etc bit more money up around that area, Get a list of all the builders in that area and go and see them. As the saying goes ' God gave use two ends, one to sit on and one to think with...Success depends on which one you use-Heads you win, tails you lose' so dont sit on your bum get out there, work wont come to you.

Logo clothing

They do all my shirts quality is great. I get my website, phone numbers and trading name on the back if things are that tight mate I'll buy yo9u a couple of shirts and you can pay me back when your more flush.

[marbleman]

gary had two companys in this area, we sub-contracted to him for around 4 years, we know him well ,
well i am glad hes sorted himself out, and maybe the best smooth talker i have ever meet, could talk the birds out of the trees bless him.
I dont dislike Gary, his nick name was shifty sheffield, seen him ****ed covered in plumbers foam and boy did his ex wife go mad,
So no i dont have a problem with gary but i know a few that do lol

[marbleman]

so anyone thats been trained at Alpine, so we helped you as Gary learnt from us smile
