installation

Doing a terrazzo floor in around 5 weeks time, think it must be around 10 years since I did the last one! :)

Hi all, We've been having a bit of a disaster with our renovation, specifically with the kitchen floor. We had a tiler in, however some of the tiles he has laid are a noticeably different shade to the others (see picture). I have since found out that this is due to them being from a different...

Hi, I am installing a shower tray 1400x800 in a space the bath used to be. There are various pipes that sit above the floorboards which I can't really re-route. I wanted to ask can I build a solid wooden frame secured to the floorboards and to the joists and ply over the top, then put the...

Hi I am in the process of fitting a new En suite out and have recently bought a 2m2 heat mat with digital timer. So far I have chased through the walls, ran the electric feed to a fused spur (3A - it's only 150w rating) and ran conduit to the floor ready for the mats cables. The question I have...

As a tile fitter only - as I don't get involved in room prep prior to tiling, would it be down to me to tape and fill joints between backerboards before tiling or would you expect the installer of the boards to complete this proces or inform me that this proces is required?

Can these large sheets of 2.5mm thick Whiterock panels be bent into a corner shape without the expensive former, it can it be done with a hot air gun on a bench?

Anyone experienced in installing Whiterock 2.5m/m pvc wall panel(type used in hospitals and kitchens 3mtrx 2mtr sheets), my question is what is the best adhesive, best application and where it is stocked. Thanks

apologies if this is in the wrong section. When installing a resin/stone type shower tray, directly on a wooden floor, what do people use to keep it in place, adhesive/sealant etc. Might add that it will be sitting on green chipboard, and I can't raise it up due to restricted headroom.

Hello! I'm looking to have a new tiled hallway floor installed in a Victorian property I'm renovating in York and was wondering whether anyone might be able to undertake this job? It's a typical terraced-house entrance hallway and is roughly 5 metres square. I've been looking at patterns...

About a year ago, I had 64 sqm porcelain tiles installed on top of a concrete slab, forming a patio. This was part of a large build, and there was a clear spec that the tile adhesive be applied as a "bed" using a "notched trowel method", which I think means that the whole underside of the tile...

Thanks to some great help from this forum I've managed to finish tiling the walls in my bathroom. Really satisfying feeling and I'm pleased with the result. :thumbsup: Just the grouting, siliconing and the floor to do now. We had plumbers come in and take the sink and toilet off the walls so...

Got these glass mosaic strips to install, they are 8mm deep as are the tiles fitted to the already tanked walls. I was thinking to make an 8mm deep dog leg from something and cut some v notches into it to use to spread the ady which is white mapei flexi rapid. I think it'll be a fiddle arse to...

Called by a couple to inspect their recently installed wet room. A plumber who decided to turn his hand to wet rooms led to this mess- Nothing good to say about the work! Lippage, messy grouting, uneven levels, bad cuts, no tanking (still wrapped up in spare room) spot fixing, poor layout...
