Why Islington tilers are switching to TaapCraft
Lead-based platforms charge Islington tilers every time a customer enquires - whether or not the job ever happens. TaapCraft flips the model: you only pay when a real job completes and you've been paid by the customer.
Combine that with verified profiles, escrow-style payment protection, AI-powered job matching and direct messaging, and you have the most cost-effective way to grow a tiler business across London.

Tilers in Islington - what the local work looks like
Islington, London
Islington is mostly Georgian and Victorian townhouses and converted flats, which means tilers here see high-spec refurbishment and small-footprint installs. Typical enquiries cover wall and floor tiling for kitchens, bathrooms and wet rooms.
Traders working Islington and neighbouring boroughs tend to keep travel short and jobs clustered, so a tight postcode radius usually earns more per day than chasing work across the city. TaapCraft matches enquiries by postcode, so the jobs you see are the ones you can realistically reach.
Most Islington tilers also pick up work in Angel, Highbury, Finsbury Park and Archway, so one postcode radius can cover several rounds of jobs a week.
