Four days sorting tiles before laying a single one. A three-metre slab being manoeuvred into a bathroom while the client filmed. Ken Hudson of Huds Tiling Services knows that a perfect finish can have a fairly chaotic middle.

In Season 1, Episode 3 of Off The Job: A Tradesman Podcast, Ken joins Keiran Yates and Pete Withers to explain what large-format tiling really involves: planning the layout, matching expensive tiles, working around other trades and getting the details right when there’s very little room for error.

Ken also talks about learning the trade from his dad in Jamaica, spending 14 years with an Essex tiling company and building his own business. Then there’s the Westminster Abbey job that ended with a handshake from Prince Philip, the project he chose to walk away from, and why he shares tiling advice online even when other tilers reckon he’s giving away the secrets.

New to Off The Job? We’re a UK trades podcast for the stories behind the finished work. This one has trade pride, site politics and enough
