when u say specialise do you mean the type of tile i.e marble or the type of work. i mostly do commercial work . i do like the shop fitting side the most. did site work for about 15 yrs new build housing i still do a bit but i find the agents on the commercial side to be more chilled out, plus all materials delivered to job
oh and i earn more on the cpmmercial side

I don't think i would like to specialise in one particular part of tiling, i think you would get bored, i like learning new things, new materials that you haven't used before. Also i like a challenge.![]()

I know I would get bored specializing in one area of tiling but natural stone would be the one I would follow

I saw a really really sad looking guy in a tow truck this morning..I thought 'He's heading for a breakdown'

i would love top specialise in gooners area...swimming pools, saunas and spar's etc
its the high end and you get to cover a good variety of the tiling trade from rendering, mosaics and bespoke work.....i think gooner has a great niche!!!
