I have always tiled walls first then floor last, even in wet rooms, to save working all over the floor and risking damage, I see a few photos of people doing it the other way round, the final finish shouldn't look any different really, why risk tiling floor first? Unless it's for the wall and...

Who does it whenever possible? I do sometimes but I rarely try and match all 4 walls up with the floor. It often compromises the set out of the walls. Do you try and match up the end with the width with using 60x30 tiles?

Ok, so I've been back on here a few days and thought I would raise a somewhat "controversial" topic. Floating floors!
I've not had one in a while now, priced many but it tends, once they're fully informed, to scare my customers away.
I'm in the middle of one at the moment. It's a kitchen...
Don't mind me while I try and get some discussion on this pendulum test value thing I've got going on at the moment.
