Hi and welcome, a big move

Welcome along Jim, there is a lot of competition for tiling work around Scotland I believe.
It would take a while to build a reputation and there are plenty of great tilers about.
Good luck with your move though.

Hi & welcome. I'm from Glasgow. Plenty work here & lots of large tile retailers based in Hillington area.

If you want, I'll do a straight swap with you. You can have my house & work here and I'll live in Canada...fair trade I think lol.
