    Hi Phil, do you mean sub-contract for a tiling company? or direct for the builder. I have done both in the past, builders tend to go for a well established company imo

    I do big floors 5000 meters + but can only get them for around 7 months of the year, try calling big tiling firms to see about getting a start.

    I would suggest that, although a lot of big tiling firms have thier own favorite gangs. It took me a while to get known, good luck with it
