    To Tile or not to Tile... (myself)

    I also am DIY but have done quite a lot of tiling as a DIYer I have used sealer in the past and seems to do a good job, water beads up on the grout. But I did a kitchen with Tilemaster 3000 grout and the sealer would not touch the grout it just sat there and beaded up so looks like the 3000...

    Dust collection can ..

    It came from my magic shed where i keep all manner of things that may be useful. It is a spare piece from a velux window install. I have seen a cut down pipe insulation also used. It worked perfectly and almost no dust. But the hose attachment has now come away and need re glue sticking

    Dust collection can ..

    The one I made collected very fine dust - in the collector In the hover If a home made one works so well that a brought one shout work even better. They work by creating a vortex that spins the dust to the bottom from the side and the hover attaches on the top away from the dust. And a home...

    Emergency Sanding options

    I suddenly realise that I need smooth off a cut edge from PEI rating of 5 full bodied porcelain. So what is the best option of a product that I can get from Screwfix or Toolstation. I have got on well with wet and dry paper before by hand but only on ceramic. Tool wise I have angle grinder...

    Tile Levelling Spacers (Again)

    I am using 1.5mm clips and 3mm spacers that I use like a peg - so I don't push them in as a flat cross. I am far too messy to use the clip as the spacer.

    Tile Levelling Spacers (Again)

    I have got the hang of it now I have got used to their size. Do they really need to be so big. I also found out that for me its better to tap the clip on one side and then the other to snap it off.

    Tile Levelling Spacers (Again)

    Thanks but thats not easy for me Ahh but you are missing something -I am not a good tiler - I am not even a tiler. Yes I have noticed the direction movement and started holding a wedge around the expansion gap on the first two rows.The RLS ones look that sane design how come they don't do it. I...

    Tile Levelling Spacers (Again)

    I know from reading old posts on here this can be a sensitive subject - but I have some observations. I have used tile lash on a brick bond kitchen floor with 600 x300 and thought it was a fantastic product but I realised I was struggling because of the shape of the base bends up and you have...

    How Much SLC do you think I need

    I have already thought of that- the door opens in:D Slow progress today, I have only just got in after cleaning all the kit. First I had to go out and get the deep bed then do some setting out and cut the first row, so only two rows down today -19 tiles. The fast set takes longer than I remember...

    A Big Thank You To You All

    I think so far people have seen every step of the way including making extraction equipment, choosing grinders,stain testing tiles. I will defiantly come back with the result but I haven't gone yet I am sure that will be other stuff before I get to the end.

    How Much SLC do you think I need

    Right I have a plan. I have rang tilemaster and I can use the thickbed in the way that I want which is to first lay it down flat to bring it up 10mm then when it has gong off enough to withstand trowelling and bedding I can use that again to lay the tiles on that side, then I can use normal set...

    How Much SLC do you think I need
