    I have a newly laid screed 75mm thick sand and cement laid 2 weeks ago. I'm stuck for time and need the ensuite floor tiles asap. Is there any products you can recommend for me so I can start laying now rather than wait another few weeks before it's fully dry.

    I'm looking information on a drill bit hole set and a decent 4 inch blade that'll cut all tiles. I used to buy the 365 hole set however I can't seem to find online the set I used to purchase. Infact I can't find much of that brand anywhere. Maybe they've stopped making them. It's been a long...
