What is your current preference of electric underfloor heating insulation?
And where do you buy from? (I appreciate price is probably trade price so don't mention it if it is please - this is in the public forums)

Hi all, Often when you work alone the Forum is the only place for a second opinion. See photo, customer does a bit of DIY himself and has said he can't get this shower off the wall prior to me tiling. I have suggested I get my own plumber to do it, but just so I'm not alone, would anybody ever...

Hi Guys,
I need a cheap electric tile saw for around £70?
I know for this money it isn't going to be earth shattering, but any suggestions would be great.
It will only be used for small/medium tiling jobs, nothing major.
Thanks very much.
