    Advice for this area please, picture attached

    Hi, first time I’m posting 👋🏽 I’m after some advice please. Is this area going to need plastering before tiling or will tile backerboards be ok to use? Not looking for a quick fix as I want to do it properly but I know plastering will delay the tiling. Thanks ☺️

    Please help judge this work, looking for expertise!

    Hi all, I have just had someone tile my front path but to me it looks a little odd, but no idea if this is acceptable and I'm being too fussy. They were laid 4 days ago and for some reason they are still lifting super easy, I am not sure why. If anyone can advise it would be hugely appreciated.
