Hi from Potential New Tiler

[Michael H]

Hi all, am looking for a complete career change and am seriously looking at training to become a Tiler. Have looked at training in Harlow with STC or in Hainult with the Tiling School, would anyone recommend/not recommend either. Would be great to hear what I can expect as a start up tiler, have read/heard so many different things, from earning 60k a year quite easily to having to work ten 12 hour days in a row would be great to hear about the realities from established tilers. Bit worried that with all the courses available the market for tilers will become saturated. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Michael H

Hello and welcome..

If you are starting up in this current economic climate you will be doing well to earn half of that. I did a course at STC in Harlow 4 years ago and can't speak highly enough of them. Welcome along to the forum.

Hi and welcome

60k i wish , i think its all ready saturated, but dont let that put you of

oh and welcome to the forum

I know 60K is totally unrealistic, but would like to get a rough idea of what a half decent tiler can expect to earn.

:welcome: Try it part time first. 60K divided by 48 weeks,(allowing for 4 weeks off.) Holiday,sick,van broke,job not ready,etc.Less tax.

And that would be a very good year. Not had a 60k year yet.

But it can be satisfying.

 

[Michael H]

Totally agree with you, but would like to know roughly what to expect, actually have a brochure here quoting 45k
a year, but they are going to say that as they want to sell their courses.

at the moment if some one offered me 30k a year , i would rip there arm off
