    I'm sooooooooo cheap.

    My old Bosch laser and pole are now after serving well, on the blink. So been looking out for a cheap replacement as I don't use it very often. The Stanley cube was favourite until I found this. Workzone Cross Line Laser Level -...

A bigger heavier grit machine removed 6 square metres in two hours. Customer had to descabble it to remove it in the end. Tore it to...

    18mm limestone small sized opus pattern

    Hello guys, Have a large area 110 Sqm to be tiled on new screed on Ditra with an 18mm limestone with small sized opus pattern. My concern is the joint size, the floor has wet heating, and due to the normal issues of opus pattern the joint size needs to be kept very small to accommodate the...

    Recommendations- The best knee pads???

    Love your style, straps are far too loose on Alpros, plus once they become warn they become too coarse to use for grouting on sensitive tiles, so really need two pairs. If only I was female and able to use "yarn and thread" to tighten the Alpro straps.

    Recommendations- The best knee pads???

    Bought these a few weeks ago, posted on another page. My opinion. Hello again fellas, bit of feed back for you. Been using my old pads until they wore out since buying the Toughbuilds. Been doing 150x75mm wall tiles in a small bathroom in an old cottage, no room, part half tiled with a silly...

    Level the floor? No don't think I'll bother..

    Easy to take the ****, but looks like a classic case of the floor height furthest from the door being so high, and customers not wanting a step into the bathroom. What's the tiler meant to do?

    Kerakoll adhesives and grouts

    Used my first bag of No Limits on Friday. Must admit I was blown away. I actually enjoyed tiling using a 600x300 ceramic Johnson's wall tile! Mixes very well, easy to spread, virtually no slip, long bucket life, no noticeable skinning on spread walls. One bag with 10mm trowel spread 6-7 metres...

    wood effect over wet UFH concrete

    Personally, coz I'm a bit cheap/miserly towards home expenses, I would keep the central heating, install sime funky rads, and have it controlled on a Hive or similar system. Then Ditra the floor and plank away. Lots of amazing timber effect tiles available. I do alot of work in GX, Stoke Poges...
