Wall and floor tiling WA
Hi , I am a wall and floor tiling sub-contractor here in uk, have been for 19years. In the final stages of putting my TRA package together, just got my stat dec to finish.(Glad when this TRA bit is done and sent, taken months!)
I am qualified. NVQ2. Got my CSCS card too. (Need NVQ2 to get CSCS card)
Tiling contractor Im working for paid for it all! If everything goes to plan we are looking to settle in WA. Flying out round June for two weeks to mooch round. (If anyone interested in sitting our 4 children while we do please let me know!) Question is.... Where do we live?......where is the work?......How long before your able to start work?......Can I work as a subbie?.......Is NVQ2 and CSCS card recognized in WA?.....and oh yes, what does the lager taste like? I would appreciate any help, thanks.
Just turned 40 Paul, damn lost 5 points
PS. Do they use 110v on site like in UK because all my gear is?

QUICK ANSWER
NO ITS ALL 240 VOLTS
AND NO THEY ONLY RECOGNISE AUSTRALIAN QUALIFICATIONS
saying that the fact you have been tiling for 19 years is better than any piece
of paper.
Im a tiler but am in ADELAIDE took 3 months to get fully licenced
and came on skilled visa on experience only

I was here for about 4 weeks before i started work, a bit of a holiday to start with. Just rang up an add in the paper and started straight away. I usually work 6 days a week but thats up to me and as i mentioned loads of work in Perth new builds everywhere.
Good Luck

Can't help much with the work stuff, but I can answer the important question....
The lager here is great, I love Tooheys Extra Dry Platinum, not a bad tipple IMO

Sure as a Tiler the only electric equipment you use is a drill and a grinder so not really a big deal.
