    What would you do. 800mm tiles

    I have a small ensuite that is 1950mm on 2 sides, the other two sides are 1850mm. I have 800mm wide tiles x 300mm high. My question is what way would you set these out. I have two options, start with the 800mm coming out from the corner, another then this leaves me 350mm in the other corner...

    Need ideas for rearranging ensuite.

    What do you mean by leave you room to have any shower? Tge wall is 2m wide. If I leave the sink on same wall I'll still have room for a 900 wide shower wet tray. I can even cut it down to 850mm to gain another 2 inches. Maybe even take 100mm of the 1500 length of the wet insulated tray to...

    Ardex A29 quick set screed

    First time using this and it says it can be tiled on 24hours after application. I'm looking at it, it's firmed up but still has the wet look all around it. I was thinking maybe it would have dried out quicker than this or am I overthinking it. I want to use green screed addy, bal red anti...

    Sand and cement screed down. How long

    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.

    How to stop cracking if even

    I don't even know if this is correct forum for this. On a new extension, the client has asked my opinion on this. Originally there was one ensuite on the exterior side of the extension.

    Tiling over self leveler

    How quick can one tile over self leveler. I know it's saying 6hours on the bag but I'a warm house, can this time be halved? Will be priming first thing, then leveler but waiting 6 hours is going to mess my tight schedule up on me.

    Thinking of starting out on my own how much can I earn a day/week?

    You can earn as much as you'll put in. It's not just about the work when your on your own. You have to be good at selling yourself as well and if your excellent, then learn how to demand top dollar. I know one tradesman, amazing at his work but really useless at getting top money. He always...

    Never tile over bonding! but are you sure

    I woldnt risk it now with large tiles. All im saying is that bonding and tiling isnt as scary as many say it is. Small spalshbacks and so on would be ok to get away with as long as its primed id say and walls with no big tiles

    bostik primer coming off when scrapping feet on

    The self leveler is down now so no going back. All we can do is wait and see. Worst case, if they lift, itll be on bostik to put right after them confirming this is how its done.
