I started my tiling business as of Jan 3rd and have only had 3 working days without work this year - Woohoo! - Have had to work the last 2 weekends just to keep on top of everything

I have a small classified ad that runs every week in the local paper and I'm averaging 1 call a week from that. I'm currently booked though till late March and turning day work down with other local tradesmen.

I'm not earning big bucks yet, but that's 'cos I'm probably taking a day longer on a job than a more experienced tiler.

not over busy with tiling at the moment, but the plumbing work is keeping me busy, so i cant complain!

andleivers · 18-02-2008

went away for the first couple of weeks in Jan for a holiday in the sun after bring told by fellow tilers that this is the quietist time of year, but since being back have had a steady stream of work and now booked up until the middle of March.

I'm lucky as since starting Tiling full time July last year have got to know a couple of kitchen & bathroom fitters who hate tiling so are putting work my way!

Long may it continue!
