[QUOTE="eddcottee, post: 986967, member: 53196"] I can personally recommend UK Pro Tiling. Darren is a great tutor, the aftercare is great and it was a worthwhile investment. I've been going about 3.5 years now and am constantly busy, really well booked up, earning a very good day rate and on the whole, enjoying it. I'm far from well experienced as a Tiler, as there are others on here and elsewhere who have been doing the job for 30 plus years (I dont know how as it's hard on your back and knees)! So fair play to all who have been going that long. In my short time however, I'd say what makes a good tiler is somebody professional and conscientious enough to take their time to deliver a quality job every time and somebody who is up to date with the latest guidelines and correct fixing methods etc. I have seen so many time served tilers using completely the wrong installation methods etc, just because it's "how they've always done it". My only word of caution at present would be to check just how many tilers there are in your area. I can see with the squeeze on household spending, things will at some point potentially take a downturn for tradesman, so it may not be the wisest time to get started. I could of course be wrong with that, but i'd really give it some thought. I'm established now, so dont need to worry so much, but if looking to set up new in the depths of recession (which we will be by the time you get started), it could be a little risky. Bes of luck whatever you decide. Overall, it's hard work, messy, your hands, back and knees will hurt at times, but if you're good it can pay well and give you freedom that a regular 9 to 5 office job likely wont. [/QUOTE]
