    Recommendations- The best knee pads???

    Like most of you I’ve tried them all, probs had 3-4 pairs of the alpro pads and my knees are knackered. I bought the tough built gel-thigh support pads a few months ago and they are the best by far

    Got these to try out

    Over the years I have used prob thousands of mtrs of this slate, it used to come in old crates and first impressions looked crap. However when it was laid and sealed it looked the dogs dangles we always laid ours half bond. It did vary in thickness from 3mm to maybe 30 mm which meant we went...

Couple o mates of mine from Newcastle worked for him years ago when the Chelsea harbour development was in full swing and they loved...

    Tiling Mosaics

    Gordy, if it's something like a mosaic border and your using a cement based adhesive you have the option to mix a small amount of whatever grout you are using and using your squeegee spread a thin layer over the mosaic then fix it. That eliminates any adhesive showing through, if there's enough...

    Kitchen Island

    Dave, it doesn't matter that they installed the island, it's normally common practice on domestic jobs I've done ( not that I do many) There could be two or three in a large kitchen but if you set it out properly and take a bit of time then there shouldn't be a problem, if the floor isn't as...

    Tiling Supervisor Needed Asap, Cayman Islands

    There were loads of opportunities to work abroad years ago for good tilers there few and far between now. The carribean is a lovely place to work and wouldn't mind it myself but it's all about money and how much they pay, if they want good fixers they have to pay good rates. I'm sure there's a...

    Wandfleisen

    wandfleisen is not the make, it means wall tile. German tiles,grout,tools are all excellent in my opinion, their building sites are different class to ours regards quality of work, preparation etc. pains me to say it but its true.

    Spot fixing

    I started my apprenticeship in 1975 and all floor tiling was done monolithic, it was the tilers job to screed and fix in one operation. Wall tiling was mainly adhesive but there was the odd job where the spec required sand&cement fixing ,pit head baths etc. As far as floor screeding goes my...

    Can I work on site as a tiler with just a green CSCS card?

    A green card comes under the title (general operative) correct me if i am wrong, however as sir ramic says if your accompanied by a fellow tiler you wont have a problem. I myself travel all over the country and all sites insist on the correct card for the job, not only that but now they all want...
