    Hi, plodding along at the moment, I would normally have 4-6 weeks work on my books mainly in the domestic market this has slowed down, as most of my work is via my cards given out in an independent tile shop and recommendations. I am getting back at the Plumber / tiler who keeps nicking the tiling work and have now become a qualifeid Plumber, now I make loads more on the tiling work and profit on sub- plumbing. Tiler united fight back. Lets not forget that our finish makes or breaks the installation. Feel better now

    buisness would be good if we all stuck to our guns on a price per metre instead of cut throat stuff. in edinburgh the tilers all stick together on a set price per metre but in glasgow its cut throat been to price many jobs where guys are priceing the job to cheap and no turning up
