New research suggests consumers are still investing in home improvements despite the economic climate, which could inspire workers to sign up to tiling courses so they are prepared for a wider variety of jobs.
The study was carried out by Sainsbury's Finance, which showed that one in five loans taken out by customers of the firm in the first six months of the year were for alterations to properties.
This suggests the public's appetite for carrying out home improvements has not disappeared, which could mean there is work in store for technicians who have completed tiling courses.
Head of loans at Sainsbury's Finance Steven Baillie said: "Some recent reports indicate that many Britons are delaying buying major items at the moment, but our figures indicate that when it comes to our homes, improving them is the exception."
Consumers are still buying cars as well, according to a separate report by the firm, with the number of people intending to purchase a vehicle in the next six months at a three-year high.
