Frequently Asked Questions for Edinburgh Tilers
How quickly can I start working as a Tiler through labourer.agency?
If you have all your documentation ready (Right to Work, references, etc.), we can often place suitable candidates within 24-48 hours. Many of our Edinburgh EH3 tiling roles are for immediate starts to cover urgent project needs. The speed of our process is a key part of our service approach.
Do I need my own Public Liability Insurance as a Tiler?
While our clients have their own site insurance, it is highly recommended that professional tilers carry their own Public Liability Insurance (typically £1-£2 million cover). This protects you and is often a requirement for higher-value contracts. We can advise on suitable providers during registration.
What kind of projects will I be working on?
The projects vary widely, which is one of the benefits of agency work. You could be tiling a luxury apartment in the West End (EH3, EH4), working on a commercial kitchen refurbishment in Leith (EH6), or contributing to a new housing development in the outskirts (EH5, EH11). We match your skills and preferences to the available work.
Is there work for Tilers' Mates or less experienced candidates?
Yes, absolutely. We frequently have roles for Tiler's Assistants or Mates who are looking to gain experience and work alongside seasoned professionals. This is an excellent way to learn the trade on live sites. Pay rates reflect the support nature of the role, but it's a solid foot in the door of Edinburgh's construction industry.
How does payment work, and when will I get paid?
You will submit timesheets weekly (typically each Friday). Once authorised by the site manager, we process payments to be in your bank account the following week, every week without exception. You can choose to be paid via CIS (Construction Industry Scheme) or PAYE, and we will explain the differences to help you decide.
Can I work flexibly or part-time as a Tiler?
Flexibility is a cornerstone of our service. While many roles are full-time Monday-Friday, we also get requests for part-time tilers, weekend work, or short-term intensive projects. During registration, simply let your consultant know your availability, and we will only put you forward for roles that fit your schedule. Explore our full range of temporary jobs to see the variety.
