    Do you know your vans weight limits?

    I have a 63 plate Vauxhall combo short wheel base, I carry a lot of tools, cutters, stools and materials so I have to be careful and keep an eye on how many bags of adhesive, grout, screed etc I pick up from tile shops. If it’s a big job then I just get the materials delivered with the tiles...

    Liquid tanking and how it affects weight limits..

    Light Weight Adhesives..... Any Downsides?

    Ola boys and girls. Been trying to clue myself up on a few adhesive brands. And it seems that Tilemaster is the weapon of choice for the majority, so I'll use them as an example. They do the Light Weight Rapid and Light Weight Standard. Its a lighter bag and covers 60% more than a 20kg...
