Tiling only about £160 inc mats, if boarding out then another £50.

can you explain the method used to grout in 20 mins it would save me a load, surely the tiles will still be full of residue after such a short period of time:yes:

if you read his thread he's new to tiling so i would say he should go with 2 days at steady pace (speed comes with experience)
turtle tiling - use HARDI BACKER BOARDS from topps,screw it down every 300mm inch half screws,then you can tile straight onto it, (the boards are concrete dipped) then use flexi rapid set adhesive ! go in with a quote £180 for the 2 days!
good luck!

Needs to lay a bed of adhesive as well!

i mix my grout and dont have it very thick so it can b poured out of the bucket start at 1 corner work my way across and back maybe 2 tiles deep goin by1s/f tiles and wont take that long 2 do 5.7s/m
then go back with your damp sponge wipe about 6or8 tiles then rinseing out your sponge in a bucket of water bside u til you hav done the whole floor then do it again. there will b a light haze when it dries properly
then get paid and tel them to mope it in 4or5 hours
