Morning, another new DIYer here! I'm Matt, based in Norfolk and while I'm in the construction industry as my day job it's from a quantity surveying angle so less hands on than I'd prefer.
I've done a little tiling here and there so reasonably comfortable with it (and find it oddly enjoyable)...
In the photo attached I want to put down a new floor in the kitchen off the hallway. Currently there is lino there.
I'd like to put down something that won't look awful with the Victorian tile hallway.
My first choice is tile, although wood has been suggested that I would always have avoided...
Hey guys.
Long time reader, first time poster.
I've got 42mm between my current concrete slab (insulated) and my desired final floor level (tiles)
How do I overlay my pipes?
Is there a thin screed that can be applied over the pipes?
Alternatively I was thinking of making some DIY overlay...
I’m after some advice really. I’m having my kitchen done at the moment and although I’m happy (more or less) with the units, the tiling on the walls is, I suspect a bit crap. I’m gutted - I’ve been looking forward to having it done for so long and I was so excited
The builder is really nice...
Hi all,
This is first post here.
I have an old house which we are in the process of re-doing kitchen and whilst lifting the many decades of different flooring, finally came down on what must be the original 1905 floor tiles. They are at least 2in thick and classic red terracotta. Under them is...
I (DIY'er) am going to tile my bathroom and en suite and have purchased 600 X 600 porcelain tiles. Initially after reading many posts on here I was going to get a DeWalt d24000 but I can't justify the cost as I'm not a tiler plus the missus would probably use it on me if she found out the cost...

I have other Bosch tools so was going to stick with them as I like the brand but also as I have the batteries and saw the cordless grinder.

Hi after doing a short tiling course I'm going to tile my kitchen splash back for some practice and to gain a bit of experience, at my own pace so I can get it as good as I can.
I've started taking off the old tiles (which put up very little resistance ) I'll scrape off the little amount of...
Hi all,
Just a quick post to say Hi. I brought my first house about 18 months ago, and as time passes more and more DIY jobs arise. Some out of choice, some not :)
My first job ever was laying engineered wood flooring. My second biggest job (starting this Sat) tiling kitchen splash back, about...

Hi All,
I am looking at moving on to the next project in my house which is kitchen area. This includes the utility room and conservatory.
Existing floor was tiled about 10 years ago with porcelain tiles 60x30. All of the floor was fitted with thin tile backer boards, underfloor heating and...
have been asked to amend some existing tiling around replacement kitchen units if possible as opposed to complete re time. Current tiles look very similar to Zanzibar from Bayker but perhaps an older style
Any help very much appreciated
Got a call last week - ‘John I’am at BQ can you pop up and choose some tiles for my kitchen floor, I’am away to China for a couple of months and want you to do it while I’am away’!
Showed him a picture of previous job and ‘ yes! that will do’!
Hardie boards fitted to bring it up to height of...
