I'm a chippy, I fit a lot of kitchens and some bathrooms, inevitably I have done quite a bit of tiling, which I have learnt from older tradesman I have worked with in my early years in the trade. I've never had a complaint about my tiling, I don't class myself as a tiler, I can accurately cut a...
Hi all
Just been reading up on the above and it looks like I should have sanded the floor down a bit sooner - no one advised that it should be done after a couple of weeks
Floor has been down a good while now and has a good surface I think - its not crumby at all but hey may as well do a...
Hi. I have about 55 sqm floor, anhydrite screed laid about 5 years ago with water UFH. Because my house is old, build 1902 on side of the hill and on the clay, I have few crack on floor. One of the first shop where I was looking for tiles, wood effect which I want, was Topptiles. Because crack...
Really enjoy DIY. So much so that I am finding new things to do even if they don't need it.
Joined this forum to see if I could discuss how to make my own underfloor heating for laminate flooring or if I buy a mat, 500mm X 600mm.

Hi all
Just looked at a job where builder wants to put down 22m chipboard over joists then Ditra. I said nooooo. The heating system is wet on a polystyrene board with aluminium trays screwed to joists. I have mentioned giffa flooring. The joists are 400 centres so could probably use the 18mm...
Hi all
I am new to the forums and looking to get my kitchen diner floor tiled which is approx 30sqm
The tiler is proposing following
1. Self level floor as old tiles were taken up and some of the adhesive is still present and not flat floor - Is this needed or can insulation boards just be...
I thought I'd share this project, quite a lot went into this and I think it turned out great. The floor was a bit of a mess so there was some leveling prior to fitting the insulation and underfloor heating.
This system is the new pro warm system which uses the dural cifh carrier mat and there...
Hi,
First time here and hoping this is an easy question!
I am installing a wet room upstairs and going back to joists but I also want to install low profile wet underfloor heating (I already have it), what will give me the best surface to tile on and support a bath on top?
So I was planning...

Hello! We are about to renovate our 1960s home and need some expert advice on how to plan the new kitchen floor.
The current floor is composed of 9x9 asbestos vinyl tiles adhered to a concrete foundation with an asbestos containing bitumen.
The kitchen is very small so we'd like to remove the...
I thought I would put this on as these screeds are becoming increasingly popular and there seems to be incorrect advice been given by the screeders. Pumped in, rapid drying cement based screed with underfloor heating which they claim you can tile on directly after 7 days and you don’t need to...

Used warmups DCM pro heating system this week for the first time .
For those that don’t know It’s basically warmups version of ditra heat with cable going into the decoupler.
Also the matting is self adhesive and F*** does it stick (to primed insulation boards)
Amazing system anyway...
Hi
We had self leveling compound laid about a week ago by our builders in our shower room and through to our kitchen/diner, i`ve been cleaning today and i`ve noticed cracking and breaking at the edges near the patio doors. It was laid onto plywood boards (in the kitchen area) , concrete in the...
Hi Peeps
Done a fair bit of reading on how the wet under floor heating should be warmed up prior to tiling and then after.
But theres a fair bit of difference both from advice from screeding firms thats given to customers and from info online. Thought it would be good to seek clear advice thats...
