If i can chip in without being chewed up ... standards are a suggested limit that is deemed to be safe... as a tiler you have to take each job at face value and decide if you are willing to go say that extra 2kg...

Now on another note .. PB these days is a capable of holding more weight than currently suggested in BS and B/gypsum will probs be upping that limit with some luck .


So before knocking back a job , think!!!!


ok just my 2 penneth, will shut up now ..

I totally agree Dave, but if you install a better substrate it's a win win all round i say. Plus you get the benefit of a bit of extra work, and a customer that recommends you on the basis of being thorough.

What if the customer will not budge... would you go 2kg over ... I would if i was ok with the substrate prep..

Dave......you know better than almost every single....Moderator, Admin or member of this site........BS is a guideline.......NOTHING MORE......the job I am on at the mo the plasterers convinced the client that the tiler would "WANT" the walls plastered!!!!!!!!.......and they charged accordingly.........thank the gods they are Porcel-Thin from F.E.E.T..........that said BS is a guideline.........

all the best

Yes i have in times gone by, but nowadays no. Touch wood i have plenty of work all through recommendations and a lot of those i get because of being thorough.
