Tilers normally work 39 hours a week, Monday to Friday, although unsocial hours may be required to meet deadlines for contracts.
Tilers work in a variety of locations, and spend a lot of time bending and kneeling, so the work can be physically demanding.

Most tilers work for specialist tiling contractors who provide services to the construction industry, directly to businesses and individual householders.
There may be opportunities to work abroad on contract.
With additional training, wall and floor tilers may progress to technician level or become supervisors or contract managers.
There may also be options to train as an assessor on tiling training courses. Tilers with several years experience can earn 22,000 and over.
