How much does a tilers apprentice get? - TilersForums.com

[rufus the tiler]

It was,nt about being tight it was trying to find a wage I can afford to pay for every single week without having to lay off when/if things get slack as I already have a labourer to pay....but the aim is to train two people so i could start 2 teams of people trained to my standard eventually and give my knees a rest lol
plus they would get bonuses of some sort when things are going well or they impress me with their effort......I sort of see it as giving someone the oppurtunity to become a bathroom specialist who one day could be earning a grand a week ish instead of being stuck in a dead end factory job.

As soon as they are earning you the money they will be out on their own and they'll take your contacts with them!
Cynical, no fact.
If you've got the work just sub contract and earn off them from day 1.

takes years to get a good name and days for a subby to lose it

what misery !!!!
you earn a lot of money and pay 100 for week?
it seems to me exploitation.
years ago, I was paying 80 per day, just to make adhesive and lead tiles.
those who not render, I let home.

I certainly dont earn a lot of money...well not enough anyway lol

Your assuming subby is sh*te!
No one expects it to be easy to expand a business but with the right work, payment on time, you can get regular quality Tilers .

I agree it is achievable, with a bit of luck with finding the right subbies, but i have seen some of the tilers standards around my way some ok and some horrendous and rarely the odd good one(the really busy ones)....I,ve done a couple of Wetrooms on wynyard estate near Stockton....if i do any more I will give you a shout as I am certain your in the good category
