Hi was hoping someone could give me the best solution here. Currently undertaking my first tiling project and came unstuck on the ceiling row. The adjacent wall fits well but the ceiling isn't quite level and the current wall barely fits the tile row with no grout line. I'm using 100x200 metro...

I have a customer who wants a 1st floor bathroom tiled,which has all of the attributes of a trampoline. Whilst advising him what needs doing to rectify the problem he is canvassing every Tom,Dick and Harry on my advice. Apparently one tiler has said the floor is ok to tile onto as long as a...
