    Can tilers plug their local tile stores that they use please?

    I think this is okay to do. I can't see this upsetting a relationship you have. But by all means if you want to keep your suppliers to yourself, don't do this. That said, if you don't mind doing so, and do want to give your local tile store some acknowledgement (and perhaps one day therefore...

    Guy, I am not involved in this business at all, so I would appreciate any help or advice pls. I have noticed very recently that hairline cracks in my kitchen floor have started to seep a dark brown, sticky oil. There has been no spillages, so it is a complete mystery.

    Who was the blade company that manufactured in the UK?

    A while ago we had a blade company on the forum that manufactured in the UK. Think it was a small engineering firm. Can't remember their name or their cutter blade name. Or anything in fact. Gone are the days of a rollerdex lol I'm sure we would have had threads about them. @Lou any clue?

    Have i missed something? "Professional Tiler" tag now says "Tilers' Arms Member" - Why is that?

    Why have the professional tiler tags been replaced with arms members tags. Surely only forum members will know what this means

    To mitre or not to mitre, that is the question!

    As above. As a DIY’er what would be the best way to cut the square edge type polished metal tile trims? I have normal tin snips, hacksaws and even one of those Evolution compound angle chop saws that cuts through steel and alsorts-but will the blade bash the trim to bits? Would I be better...

He does various work like joinery, painting, wallapering, tiling etc. I turned up at the job to find this: I told him I wouldn't be able to do it...
