Questions a customer must ask their Tiler/Tiler checklist. - Tile Advice

[Dumbo]

The question how long have you been tiling is a rubbish question. Because some young lad who has a very good apprentice master probably turns out better work than some people who have done it all their lives

Possibly yes, I agree with that, However if someone said they completed a two week course three months ago, that question might be more useful than you think

Are you on mybuilder?
See ya!

Someone said they did the other day on here when asking for advice.
I take your point though.
I think they are both extreme scenarios.

If I was employing a Tiler and they said they had been at it for two years then that would be a big negative for me personally.

There again, I’d weigh up all of his answers and make an informed decision. That’s what I’m trying to achieve.

The same could be said for Checkatrade. Or any of these companies

The only benefit to making such a list and giving it to potential customers, is to make you (the giver) look good and give them (the customer) confidence in you.
It would show them that you are clued up enough, and confident in your abilities enough, to encourage them to question you.

Yeah, I think it could work well enough. It would simply be a PDF attachment that you send alongside your written quote. With the replies already filled out.

The clipboard idea is more humorous though

This doesn’t work because I could’ve got my mate Dave to send the message to me.

Hi, one tiler i had actually had the gall to put in the contract that he will dot and dab the tiles onto a contact layer of adhesive... Plus the contract looked pretty slick so without a bit of research it wouldn't have stood out as something that's odd / bad.

So that's one question I ask...
