    Anhydrite Screed

    I would always go with the Anhyfix if possible. Just a bit more peace of mind for me. Speak to Tilemaster, they might be able to knock you up a batch that'll go off a bit slower.

    Ats Diamond Core Drills

    Yeah we use the M14 grinder hole cutters on stone and porcelain and have to say they are mustard!! So quick and easy to use. I bought 5 cheap £20 variable speed grinders from Lidl a few months ago and have a different size hole core on each one and that saves so much time as well. Just get it...

    Tiling Apprenticeships - Who's Currently Got An Apprentice?

    I keep thinking about taking a kid on (got a kid begging at the mo. nice lad, works hard and can be trusted apparently as he works for a mate day to day labouring) but if I'm honest I'm wondering how it would benefit me. Can't seem to find any info on grants etc so is it just the extra pair of...

    Tile Cutters With A Difference.

    They come with a diamond rim blade and I've never had to replace one yet. The saw gives out/starts to get noisy and wobble abit way before the blade goes in my experience. It sounds cheeky but at £80 quid or so I just add the cost of a new machine on to the job quote incase I burn it out mid way...

    Tile Cutters With A Difference.

    http://www.homebase.co.uk/en/homebaseuk/worx-400w-worxsaw-easyplunge-304923 I use this for doing exactly what you mention. Cutting in to fitted tiles with no mess. It has a depth gauge and a hose for a hoover to help dust extraction. Because of the small blade it doesn't kick up much dust and...

    Advice to an Apprentice.

    But if you're honest that's the decision you make. You don't have to travel, there is no gun to your head. You could find more local work or drop your price accordingly to find the local work...or work at your local Asda/Tesco/Etc. I'm lucky that most of my projects are localish to me but when...

    Advice to an Apprentice.

    Haha I've been called a lot of things but Draconian is a new one...tyrant is what the wife calls me!! I suppose it depends on the "basic wage" element. What is the minimum wage today? And travelling can't count as part of the workday either, that's just life. Asda etc don't count travelling...

    Don't forget yr free bag of grout @ CTD when you buy addy.

    My CTD said only 1 free bag of grout per customer regardless of how many adhesives you buy. Looks like I've been tucked up!!

    Thanks John. Opening day went well. Loads of interest from both the locals and the trade and plenty of champagne drunk! We even picked up 7 quotes to go and see so not bad for the first day and hopefully a sign of good things to come. As John mentioned we have a wide and varied range of tiles...

    let down... misprepresented.. out of their leauge !

    Its very easy to get the work in and win the contracts but finding the right people to do the work/be on your team of fitters representing you/your company and then also get them to keep to your high standards is almost impossible!! I'm desperately seeking another 1 or 2 tilers to join our...
