Time's Ran Out
But what is a qualified tiler - Nvq , City and Guilds, or years of experience!
All that counts is its done right, using the best materials possible, and everyone is happy with the outcome.
Its not one off work it's ongoing work and the longevity of a tradesman is a good indicator. Not this 'I've always done it this way' type but the ones who embrace new technology and want to keep learning - even I occasionally listen!
I think Mr C like the unqualified role in our trade, but unfortunately the quality of his work shows how experience (however gained) has set him apart from others and justifiably deserves full praise for his portfolio.

I just wanted to thank everyone on this forum for their helpful advice last autumn.
The circular stairwell has now been tiled.
The decision was for porcelain tiles and a new cutting machine and a design with facets not curves.
Beautiful.
