Do you specialize in one type of tiling

[peckers]

Does any one specialise in just one type of tiling? wheather it be in just stone or just geometric tiles etc?
when i lived in guernsey all i did was tiling with stone, i moved back to devon and tried to specialise in just this area and found that i had to do all tiling which is what i still do!

[caliperkid]

can't afford to specialize in any one type of tiling up here pal there's that much choice now adaze anything could turn up, thats why i've had to spend a fortune on differant cutters and tools to fix them! not like the old days 6" white or cream, what happened to them days ? ha ha

used to twenty years ago mainly fix terraccota and slate and and now days just tile shop floors 60x60 porcelain but have herd rumors that i my have some toilet walls coming up other than my own bathrooms only tiled one bathroom in ten years

Thats not happening on recent work I've seen. I mostly do domestic but where can I find these things out ?

I'm with you on this kid, 1200mmx600mm can't get a stack of those under your chin, like the old 6"x6". I must admit though I prefare a challenge. Rather than bog standard jobs. But as you say beggers can't be choosers.

yes 95% mosaic fixing for me, and i love the stuff can't get enough, all the typs ,colours, makes, it's a whole world on it's own

[hillhead]

I do all types and styles,stones all the way through porcelains to the ceramics and mosaics.
I do diamond set,herringbones and all the rest and mostly all domestic work now.
I seem to get full houses too all the time,i love it when i get a single floor somewhere or a bathroom.lol.
