Retrain as an TileLocal
tiler and
beat the credit crunch!
With today’s investment in high quality bathrooms and kitchens customers are now demanding the same quality in their tiling. This means good tilers are in increasing demand.
Local Services has established itself as the UK’s leading provider of fast response and planned building maintenance services.
Our combination of established, trusted
brands and national infrastructure make us the benchmark for the
industry.Please see below for other Local brands.
TileLocal along with PlumbLocal, ElecLocal, GasLocal and DecorateLocal is part of a network of independently owned franchised businesses.
Whilst each business develops its own local commercial and domestic customer base they also operate together to form a national planned and reactive contractor. National blue chip companies with sites across the UK choose us over other suppliers because of the convenience of having a single contact for all building maintenance. They also have the security and assurance that our fully branded service offers. Franchisees benefit from the opportunity to offer a regular service to some of the largest companies in the UK as well as a solid reputation with local domestic customers.
Over the years many of us have developed some basic DIY skills - from basic plumbing to rewiring a complete house.
But have you ever considered expanding those
skills into a successful and rewarding new business? Well,
now you can! Already working as a tiler? Would you like
to start your own business and benefit from the TileLocal brand and
expertise.
To meet growing customer expectations TileLocal ensure all our
franchisees are fully trained and meet a high level of competence.
TileLocal have worked closely with their training partners to
develop a course that not only delivers the right qualifications
but equally importantly offers a broad range of practical training
tasks to ensure franchisees are confident with their new
skills.

The TileLocal training programme takes 5 weeks to
complete. The first three days are spent at head office in
preparation for the launch of your new business. This covers all
aspects of sales and marketing and business setup. We ensure that
everything is covered for the launch of your new venture and that
you get off to a flying start.
Once we have introduced you to the team we will start to familiarise you with our systems and processes. The marketing team at Lighthouse will begin putting together all the elements for your bespoke marketing plan.
You will then be introduced to the franchise accountants who will guide you through every step of setting up your new business including registering your new limited company, VAT registration and setting up a limited company bank account.
You will then spend the next 4 weeks at our tiling training centre. The course runs from Monday to Friday from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. The training is intensive and you will learn all aspects of wall and floor tiling for both domestic and commercial work. Tiling is very much a craft based skill therefore the majority of your course is spent hands-on in the workshop doing practical tiling training exercises however, all the essential theory based classroom training will be covered ensuring complete confidence in your new skills.
On completion of your course our trainers will guide you through the process and help you advance to gain your NVQ Level 2 qualification. Our network of Technical Support Franchisees will be on hand whenever you need them, offering help and advice to make sure that every job goes smoothly.
