I've had to take up half of my floor tiles including the 9mm ply that was underneath. I'm wanting to replace it but am thinking about using a cement board/no more ply option instead. Would a 10mm option work if I used slightly less adhesive? Any help is appreciated.
We are in a new build and I’m not happy with the tile floors. Yesterday an inspector from the flooring company which provided both the tiles and the labor came out to look at the floors. He declared them ‘damned good.’ He also said the acceptable lippage was equal to two nickels. Can that be...

Thanks

Hi All,
Been considering going it alone for a while now. How much can I realistically earn a day or week on my own. What is the going rate?

Hi All,

I have an outside area to level up and think I will be using Mapei P4, the area is 2.8 long x 1.3 wide and the lowest side is 18mm too low along the 2.8 length rising to a feather at the 1.3 wide mark. How many bags do you think I will need please.
