What will I earn as a tiler in Surrey? - Tile Advice

[One Day]

HEAVEN is where:
The police are British
The chefs Italian
The mechanics are German
The lovers are French
and it's all organised by the Swiss

HELL is where:
The police are German
The chefs are British
The mechanics are French
The lovers are Swiss
and it's all organised by the Italians!!

I easily earn £600 a day, easily , and I charge out at around £60/70m2 .........
That is on the internet where pigs fly and men talk s hite...............in reality you will earn anywhere between £25 grand to £50 grand , not many one man bands on much more than that, unless they live in the internet world .

How old are you Chris? why do you fancy a change, it sounds like you are well paid?

Too much stress for the reward being a structural engineer. I enjoy tiling, just done 70m2 of tiling at home and feel it could be my calling!

I am sorry to always see the undervalued Italians. it's a shame ... because on this forum, many people would have another job without the Italians. Ahah

@Tim Moreton you have disagreed , please elaborate, what would you say a tradesman earns , im in northwest England ,ive Been in the building trade for over 3 decades.
I know a handful of tradesmen who earn really good money , the rest I know, earn a wage. Then the internet appears and the idiots come out and take about their £600 a day and 60/70 quid a meter
I believe some will get this on the odd job, hell I earned £2000 the other week on a big floor, but that’s not every week , it’s a one off , in a few weeks I may only earn £100 a week, as I’m a bit dry and have to sell my body ,
So with you disagreeing , how much do you earn , and prove it, bank statement or the like.
Thanks

He might be disagreeing because he earns 12k a year .

Personally I don’t see the point of taking yourself into the higher tax rate even if there was the ability to earn it, basically working 2 days for nothing.

Bloody gyms are dangerous places. I'm glad I work for a living so don't have to go to one.
