I would take 18mm chipboard up, cheap product, skirtings off, see where pipes are lay 18mm ply wbp tiled skertings much nicer job

Ok, I've had a bit of luck, talked to the site manager this morning, the chipboard is 22mm and his tilers nail in the chipboard a certain way, he explained to me but I think I had a blank expression so he offered to come and look at it tomorrow morning for me

in the meantime I've started a concrete floor which seems to be going well

Nailed in a 'certain way' sounds like fun, maybe they put them in with a hammer!

 

[kevg]

Nope I've given up, will have to get someone in to finish my work off, it's just the finish I want I'm not going to be able to do myself :-( if I didn't try I'll never have known.

us tilers are skilled believe it or not

 

[Scott]

You gave it a go Kev thats the main thing. Why not post the job on here? There is a section here:

I'm Looking for a Wall and Floor Tiler

Don't mind me while I bump some old but popular threads to see if the topic is still active in some way. Wondering if either the original idea or original issue still exists. I've done this with quite a few threads, so don't be offended if this is just jargon these days and not applicable. But I thought there might be a small chance a small percentage of the small number of threads might just be slightly applicable and the thread could get a new lease of life.

Reply to this if you've read a bit and have something to say.
There IS going to be a bigger chance when i do this, that the thread is dead. So don't worry if that's the case, just don't reply to it, and we'll all move on and let the thread drop out of view again.

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
