Lancashire school of plastering and tiling - Tile Advice

[dean39]

I went on that course and it was pete who was the tutor,the course was only 3 days and cost me £320........now it was just the basics we were taught and to be honest it gave me confidence to persue a career in tiling............since then i found the tiling forum from which ive gained a considerable amount of knowledge from posts etc...........these type of courses are all the same and will give you an idea if your cut out for tiling or not............

I have recently spent some time with the guys from LSP, and am going to commit to a programme to help fine tune things, they now have a new tiling trainer, and with the plastering side they wish to put the mistakes of past trainers behind them and earn a better reputation. Tiling trainer Rick, was brought up with his fathers business, plastering and tiling. I have seen them in operation and they things are moving on very nicely. I will keep people informed on the progress.....Gaz

Sorted: Tiling Courses | Recommended Tiling Training in the UK - Tiling Courses - Tiling Training - Wall Tiling Courses I've added both the BAL and BAL Approved Training Centre's.

UPDATE
LSP declined Bal's offer of support at the last minute. This was a great disappointment to me as I was looking forward to helping out. I do of course wish them the best in their future.....Gaz

Hey guys

I did the Tiling course on the 12th Jan with my mate after I got made redundant from my last job just before christmas.

They are on Redcar industrial estate in new premises. The guy who teaches the course now is called Alan Crossman who is a full time tiler in lancaster too.

I found him and the course very good, I have never picked a tile up before I went there and true, it's only 4 days long but I found you learned an awful lot in them 4 days.

Day 1 is tool introduction (cutters, snippers, wet saws, grouts, adhesives etc) and starting to prep the walls with base lines, then started to bow the windows in.

Day 2 was doing different types of patterns - diamond, brickwork, etc.

Day 3 grouting and cutting the tiles to fit round pipe work, toilet, sinks etc.

Day 4 floor tiling.
