Hi Guys, I need help!! Basically I employed a cowboy and now there is a problem I can't contact him! I had my floor tiled (over 200sqm) prior to turning the under floor heating on. Now the heating has been on and off for over a month the tiles sound hollow when I walk over them! I feel they...

I know this product is unlikely to turn up in the UK anytime soon, but wanted other tilers take on it. I was offered adhesive to buy (C1TES1) and it was almost half the price of Mapei equivalent. I read the datasheets and found some fairly poor spelling and the incorrect use of < & > signs...

Hi Guys, in my current bathroom job its been a late decision to have an electric underfloor heating mat. Its 18mm chipboard well screwed down and I've bought, cut and laid 6mm Hardiebacker but not fixed or glued it yet. Shall i do away with the Hardie and just screw and glue 6mm insulation...

Hi Fella's Just across from the Plumbers Forum to see what's going on. Our forum is being upgraded - as you probably know - and we have been forced upon you. You know how the saying goes. ' Save the best till last ' Cheers, Oz Plumber

Bought one of these for testing under floor heating, you can leave it connected whilst installing and if any problems will sound an audible alarm, and nice and quick to test before, during and after installation and screed. ;)

I have a job to do in this lovely house... under tile heating in all bathrooms and en-suites. Thing is though in the two main bedrooms he doesn't want to see a radiator on the walls so asked if I could continue the under floor heating under his carpet. the flooring at the moment is wayrock...

Hello, wondering if anyone can help me. My tiler used dark grey quick set adhesive behind my opaque mosaic tiles, they now have grey undertones. The mosaics are a mix of solid stone and opaque with the majority being opaque, the tiler said he will individually stanley/scrape out only the opaque...

Hi there, I am after advice on tiling under a heavy freestanding bath. I have a suspended timber floor and am going to fix 6mm cement board over well screwed down and plenty of noggings floor. Is the norm to tile the whole floor, then put the freestanding bath on top of the tiles? Or fit bath...

Dont know if any other tilers do this now, but all the tilers I used to know and I still do. When finished tiling a bathroom, put a couple of spare tiles under the bath behind bath panel if there is room so that if ever required another tiler will know to have a look for them there first before...

Hi. We are tiling a ground floor kitchen that is half suspended floor (100x50 joists on 300 spacing, with supports every 1200mm) and half concrete slab. The concrete slab has just been poured and once insulation has been added, it will have UFH pipes buried in the screed top layer. The tiles to...

Ok, I'm a bit confused. I've been talking to my customer about her bathrooms as she is having mostly wet rooms. She has said the waterproofing is being done under the screed. Is this normal practice abroad?

Hello. I'm building a shower/wet area in my upstairs bathroom. It's got a timber floor. I'm using a pre-formed wetroom tray which has a central drain. I want to use flat pebbles as a base in the shower area. They are a variety of sizes from 15mm to 45mm diameter. I've got the pebbles, but I...

hello The floor is 18mm WBP Ply fixed to the floor joists. Is it best to fit the hardie backer board over the whole floor, and then fit the shower tray onto the backer board, or fit the tray onto the ply floor then butt the backer board upto the edge of the tray? Also, the tray instructions...

I have managed to damage the cable on my kitchen floor while making a few modifications to the floor. Does anyone know a repair company in the west surrey area. GU24 post code. Many thanks

have to install a new wet tray in my bathroom conversion. The rest of the house the floors have been finished with dpc Radon barrier, 3 inch concrete, 3 inch insulation, heavy gauge dpc then 3 inch of screed. In my bathroom, I haven't installed the insulation or screed yet! Will be doing this...

Hi guys , Been to have a look at 4 bathroom floors for a builder and there is a hot water system under 6mm Hardi backer boards, never come across it before so I'm interested if any of you guys would consider tiling onto this and if so what would be your method of apllication as I was thinking...

Can you use expoxy grout over a heated screed or an under floor heating system? YES YOU CAN. Mapei, Ardex, BAL , Tilemaster, Mapei and Weber all say there is absolutely no problem in this procedure. There are a few guide line to follow when doing this: 1. Make sure the screed has been...

Hi all Please could somebody let me know if a DPC is required with HardieBacker? Taking up the fake wood floors reveals a DPC. Would Hardiebacker under ceramic floor tiles be enough by itself? or do we need a roll of damp course? Thanks

I know that UFH should not go under kitchen cabinets or any fixed appliances, but is it ok just to run a single feed and return to the pump by the boiler. I have cabinets covering 2 walls and it would be very difficult to not go under the units to get to the boiler. See the diagram in the...
