I've been trading as Grout of this World for just over 12 months. I was taught tiling by my Dad, who has been in the trade since leaving school and I attended a 4 week course to learn new materials and skills knowledge before embarking on a self-employed career.

I have a very strong work ethic and will ensure that a job is completed within the specified timescale and to mine and the customers satisfaction and expectation. I expect to do a job once and not have any reason to return to fix or change, so pride myself on displaying the correct and professional knowledge, and completing the work correctly with the correct tools and materials.

I, primarily, work within the domestic sector, however, have taken some small commercial work. I am confident working with all tile types, including natural stones and can provide electric underfloor heating and floor levelling. I believe that a customers property is to be respected and treat their homes as I would want a tradesman to treat mine - with respect and minimum disruption. I don't leave my tools on a customers property and I make sure I leave as I find (with the exception of additional tiles fixed - lol).

I take the time to understand my client requirements and ensure that I communicate clearly and effectively with my customers. I turn up when I say I will, whether that is to quote or start, and I will not start another job until the current job is complete. I'm totally honest and conscientious and provide a service that represents quality and value for money. I don't ask for a penny payment until the client has confirmed satisfaction with the work.

Reputation is important in growing a business and I have, only, happy and satisfied customers that are more than willing to recommend me.

1 : company name.

IMPERIAL TILING

2 : what type of work you undertake

Domestic mainly - some site work - also the main approved fitter at Topps (don't laugh!)

3 : how long you have been trading........are you time served or not.

In my second year now. Served no apprenticeship - Dad ran a tiling team and learnt the basics off him. Rest is self-taught. A few specialist courses completed. Tiling experience is several years overall though.

4 : what do you think makes YOU a good tile fixer..( not anybody else)

Professional Attitude & Approach to work. Perfectionist but with commercial sense. My professional manner (believe it or not!) was learnt from years in industrial field sales dealing with anything from a few hundred quid deals to million pound plus. This helps me win my work, especially as I tend towards the mid to top-end market.

5 : Tell me why..If i was to need a fixer .. i should use you....

My work is excellent, my rates are reasonable and I'm a nice guy! (and I look good in workwear - ladies!)
