Hello I’m in Hampton SW London and have a floor problem. Wunda UFH water heating was installed over a kitchen area that was half boards and half concrete. The tiles over the concrete are fine, but the ones over the other part have cracked. I’ve lifted one of the tiles up and the adhesive...

Hello, we’ve just had a bathroom tiled. A 1.5cm gap is at the top, between the tiles and ceiling, which has been grouted. I wondered if this was normal? I think it looks slightly odd and worry that such thick grout will crack and look bad over time. I wondered if there was any way of fixing it...

Hi all, Do you mind if i ask people experienced in tiles what should my first step be in cleaning these tiles, recently uncovered. It would be great if I can at least remove the paint and then see what is left to do. The building is 170 years old. These tiles may have be laid later. Appreciate...

I’ve got some white adhesive residue stuck to the surface of black slate effect tiles. Give them a wipe with a damp cloth and the residue is invisible but when it drys it becomes noticeable again. Tried hard bristle brush with boiling water but due to the texture of the tile I just can’t get...
