Any tilers in the yorkshire area looking to take on some help?

[big_joe]

Hi all. I'm thinking about booking onto the Tiling course with NETT. I wonder if there's anyone in the yorkshire area who would be willing to take me on to help out after I completed the course? A bit of background on me - after finishing sixth form I attended Leeds building college and gained my NVQ level 2 in plumbing. I worked with my dad for a while plumbing afterwards but unfortunatly the business didn't take off due to recession etc etc. Since then I have been working in the security industry (im 25 now) but I really want to get back into trade working, but thought about specialising in tiling this time around. If anyone would be interested in taking me on please give me a shout, im realiable and hardworking and wouldn't be looking for much money. Thanks!

Welcome along to TF big_joe. When you have completed your course start by doing small jobs for your family and friends, this will help build your confidence. You may struggle to find anyone to take you on full time at the moment due to the recession and your lack of experience. Anyway, all the best with the new venture and don't forget if there is anything you are unsure of or, if ever you need advice on anything tiling related, we are only a few taps of a keyboard away

Thanks, I'd appreciate that. If you need a hand on anything I wouldn't mind doing a bit of free labouring just to gain a bit of experience and see how it's done .

Hi
if you want a bit of experience then send me a pm. Initially it would be un paid, as I would be giving you on the job training and experience. If you show then you are capable and start earning some money then we can discuss money.
Would be on a job to job basis, see how it goes.
Regards
Nick

Take yorkshires offer mate as you will get more from that than a course IMO

I did a six week course and that was after being in building nine years and honestly i wish i had done my apprenticeship as a tiler and not as a stonemason. The short courses are great and all but its just a few weeks of practise before being thrown into the real world without much of a clue as to what you're doing. i've just spent the last year of my life working 80 hours a week for not a lot of money just cos I dont know how to approach different things efficiently. Experience is worth so so so much. Honestly it is possible but trust me its really really really really hard. I'd jump all over YTS' offer of on site learning. Either way mate good luck, you're certainly in the right place, I'd be out of business if it wasn't for this website and the incredibly helpful guys and gals!

[big_joe]

Thanks everyone. I've messaged Yorkshire Tiling Services and as you say, I'm going to jump at the offer!

[Phil Hobson]

hi and to TF and good luck

[big_joe]

I've messaged yorkshire tiling services and sent an email but not had a reply thus far. If you see this, could you drop me a line please mate, I'm real keen! Also if any one is in touch with him please could you give him a nudge in my direction. Much appreciated!

[big_joe]

I've not had any luck with Yorkshire Tiling Services, no reply to my emails or call. Anyone else out there want some free labour??

[timeless john]

Not all members are daily/weekly/monthly visitors so give it some time!
From some previous posts they are a committed tiling business and as such can be busy.
Stay enthusiastic and when the right job comes along they will no doubt contact you.

I hope so, don't want to miss an opportunity!
