Key Benefits in Detail
1.
Outstanding Earning Potential
Our hourly rate of 60/hr for callouts sits significantly above the regional average for experienced tilers in Scotland (where rates typically range from 27-41/hr in Edinburgh and Glasgow). This ensures you're fairly rewarded for your skill, speed, and reliability--whether working solo on a late-night fix or as part of a scheduled fit-out team.
2.
Flexible Work, Varied Projects
With a blend of emergency callouts and planned, quoted jobs, you enjoy substantial flexibility:
Callout Work: Great for those who like responsive, short-notice jobs and a dynamic schedule
Quoted Projects: Ideal for larger jobs where you can plan your time, fit busy periods around other commitments, and focus on delivering quality for flagship projects
This flexibility enables a work-life balance that few traditional plumbing roles can offer, while still accessing high-value commercial opportunities.
3.
Work with Prestigious Clients
The restaurant industry is undergoing a transformation in terms of value placed on craftsmanship, durability, and fast, high-quality repairs that minimise operational downtime. Our clients are nationally recognised brands and local favourites alike, offering showcases for your portfolio and the satisfaction of supporting businesses at the heart of Glasgow and Edinburgh's vibrant cultural scenes.
4.
Reimbursed Business Travel
We acknowledge that parking, bridge tolls, and travel time are significant costs for urban tradespeople. All necessary parking and toll expenses are reimbursed as part of your monthly payment; business-related travel (outside usual area) may also be covered dependent on job specifics--ensuring you're not out of pocket for accessing city-centre and higher-traffic locations.
5.
Reliable, Transparent Payment Terms
Monthly payment, 35 days post month-end, is designed for contractor stability and cash flow, following best industry practices and Construction Act regulations for clear payment timetables. Our long-term contractor partnerships reflect our reputation for reliability and fairness.

Frequently Asked Questions
