Blogging about the daily stresses and strains of a tiler, and generally throwing in some tips and tricks to help others with their tiling, Adam Philips (AKA Onlinetiler) gives us a video or so per week to watch.

This week we’ve been luck and had two video’s, and here they are.

Let down by Contractor on a Mosaic job:-

And Adam’s first help video:-

A big thankyou to Adam for doing this, we all hope more tilers join in soon.

You can follow Adam on Twitter, Tumblr and Youtube. And he’s recently signed up to our Tile Forum and his account can be found under Onlinetiler. We’ve also created a thread that you can follow on the forum, Onlinetiler.

And there has been discussion even saying domestic jobs are classed as a ‘site’.

Please feel free to pop over to the forum and contribute to the Poll as it’ll help give us a bit of an understanding as to what sort of percentages now have a Tiling NVQ.

Thanks

With more than 22 sponsorship deals providing support to the forum and community in one way or another, TilersForums.co.uk is just about to make the most important deal of them all.

Tile Giant which has recently become a brand under the Travis Perkins group has given the go-ahead for sponsorship and is in talks regarding superior sponsorship even.

Tile Giant currently only stock Mapei adhesives and Mapei UK already sponsor TilersForums.co.uk so the move was an obvious one.

More to follow pretty soon.

The construction industry was hit by 31 000 redundancies in the three months leading to October, the latest figures from the Office of National Statistics has revealed.

Data from the latest Labour Market Statistics showed redundancies across the industry had more than doubled since the period between April and June, which saw 13 000 redundancies.

In the same three-month period up to October last year, the figure was less than 10 000.

Construction has been one of the sectors hardest hit by the economic downturn, second only to finance and business, which saw 34 000 employees lose their jobs in this period.

The impact has yet to be felt widely in the m&e contracting sector.

Unite Amicus national officer Tom Hardacre said: “With regards to the capital development, we haven’t seen a major difference yet, but the repair and maintenance side of things has taken a hit, and there have been considerable redundancies within that sector.

“When companies cut back, these people are seen as less important and are the first to go. I think that’s crazy, and I would say they shouldn’t be cutting back.”

Hardacre added: “We’re all concerned that the overall m&e situation could get worse. There are projects in the pipeline that could be shelved. For example, there’s lots of environmental work on power stations that could be vulnerable.”

The latest construction industry redundancy figures come with the news that unemployment has risen to 1.86 million, an increase of 137 000 in the three months to October. The unemployment rate is now at 6%.

Procedures, that are of vital importance, such as setting-out, are covered in considerable detail. The reader is told what can go wrong and given advice. Attention is also paid to tiling with terracotta, marble, slate and granite, that involve slightly different techniques compared to ceramic tiling. Presents highlighted, useful ‘tips’ throughout the text Well-illustrated with detailed, step-by-step colour photographs and diagrams.
