Having built up client list over last 15 years, I'm very lucky to be constantly busy. Have 2 tilers doing contract work (booked up till March 2011) While I stick to private installations with latest apprentice (Booked up till Christmas) Having said that, a couple of very good tilers that i know are only getting 1 or 2 jobs a month. While the Main supplier i use has seen a 60% drop in business in the last 18 months!

I do think the business will take a hit when the new VAT rate kicks in, as most customers will want to pay cash to avoid this. Have already seen this with the 2011 quotes, and I'm pretty sure the non VAT guys out there will see a big pick-up in work. £200.00 for every £1000.00 spent looks a hell of a lot on paper to give to the vat-man!
