[QUOTE="diamondtiling, post: 240672"] Hi Danny I appreciate what you say and training schools are a vital part of todays need for more tilers but let me elaborate a little, A "tiler" went to a house to fit a wet room out, lay the floor, tray, tank all the usual for a wet room. He was fitting travertine to all surfaces, the first I knew about the job was when the customer came into the shop to complain, he had been on holiday while the work was being done. I went to look and it was a disgrace, it was leaking through to the kitchen, the tiles were a complete mess, it was a waste of money, the tiler had done a 6 week course at a reputable school. I redid the lot and it does not leak, the tiler was not paid but the customer lost some £2500.00 in materials. A few months later whilst on site I got a tiler to come and help, I went to the nearest tile shop and met him there, seemed ok, said he had loads of experience and had a cscs card, he lasted 2 days,he was slow at setting out, he was slow at tiling, he did not want to do floors, he could not tile to falls, his cuts were terrible, he did not want to do any siliconing so he had to go. His experience according to the shop manager was a 4 week course and 3 months on the job. Two tilers, both from schools and both not up to the job. So I stick with my original post, an intensive course does not produce a pro tiler, only experience can do that. The next time I do a Fitness First club you send me your best student and he/she can tile the communal wet area, usually about 50 mts or so with falls all over the place, if they can do that floor with no help and get it bang on perfect I will give them £100 a meter, my money is safe. :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
