    Waterproofing before tiling

    I have spent 5 years in military.... so in my mind, you do it right or don't do it. We all learn, but if you have 5 years experience, you must be better. Maby I'm wrong, maby in some country's they don't have tools, we have. Apologies if I insulted Someone with my comment.

    Re grouting advice

    Multitool is good, but grinder is much quicker, as long as somebody holds HENRY for you and suck all dust while you cut. (some times I do it all, by my self)

    Hi all. So I have finished indoor pool in Epping area. That was big project (same house did outdoor pool last summer), when started there was only concrete shell (no render). For the first time I had to give renderer finish points. We fixed OSB board, so render would go to it. Pool is perfect...

    Looking good. I also use Ardex adhesive for pools, but find much easier to work with Kerakol grout on mosaics.

    Tiling Rates Per Square Meter - How much does tiling cost?

    At the moment I'm tiling large swimming pool. Did 100sq.m floor in 6 days including grouting. Walls, steps, tricky top edges, cutting around lights ect. around 8sq.m a day.

    Tiling Rates Per Square Meter - How much does tiling cost?

    I disagree, don't think you can lay 15sq.m every day, including grouting. Only if you have large floor, you can do 15sq.m .( then lower rates per sq.m)5-7sq.m average.
