Mrs Sargeant. Stoke-on-Trent. Tiling Course
I realize now tiling is not just sticking a tile on a wall or floor – there is a correct way to do it… Everything was explained in detail and the tutor made sure you understood what was required…. I feel readily able to set out and tile most any floor or wall… I felt the course was of great use and my knowledge of tiling increased 100%... There was enough time to fit everything needed into the course – intense but not rushed.
Mr Gethin, Hednesford. Tiling Course
This course will be a useful additional service to my core business. The course tutor was very approachable, no-one was afraid to ask a question no matter how trivial it might seem.
