floors

Hi I'm looking for a tiler to do the floors in our new conservatory, and matching floor tiles in the kitchen. The total area is around 17 square metres. We already bought some tiles we like in a sale, just need someone to lay them. Will upload pictures of the space when I take some tomorrow.

Hi all - new to the site, and would really appreciate some basic advice on how to prep a wood floor for tiling. Against my (better?) judgement, my wife has stripped back our hall and kitchen to the floorboards, sanded and dyed them black. Now want to tile instead. The floor seems pretty level...

Hi there, very new to the forum so apologies if already answered elsewhere. What should I do in the gap between walls and floor in a bathroom.

600x600mm porcelain with star galaxy inlay. The work consisted of removing an original stone floor (only 6 years old - by others) which was very nice but suffered from screed settlement. The floor was then levelled and a decoupling mat laid. Finally the easy part - re tiling - especially around...

Just been to see a combination floor (concrete/floorboards) and am in a bit of a quandary. The floorboards side has a distinct hump, supposedly treated woodworm and bit of movement. The concrete side is flattish but cannot be raised up as all the external and internal doors and skirts have been...

I’m about to embark on a mission to tile the upstairs bathroom and en-suite floor in a new extension. I’m not a tiler but I am a builder’s son and would be ashamed if I didn’t at least have a go on smaller of the two rooms before employing a tiler! The problem I have is a combination of...

Hi All Just thought I'd see what the tilers forum members think about Tiling onto 22mm moisture resistant t&g chip board flooring as more and more jobs that I go to price these days seem to be prepared by the chippy using chipboard instead of ply. I've been using an adhesive from tilemaster...
