Advice Needed -- Bathroom Limestone walls

[Katrina2012]

Hi There

Im about to have my bathroom walls and floor fully tiled in natural limestone.

1. What is the correct proccdure to fix the tiles to the walls, considering my walls are currently painted white on plasterboard?

2. What is the best type of grout, sealent and adsive to use, considering its a bathroom?

3. What is the correct materials to use under the limestone flooring, considering its now woodern floorboards?

Im so worried its going to be correctly installed, i cant afford any mistakes.

Please advise on the best products for the job id prefer to pay out now to avoid mistakes further down the line......

Hi i would do as kilty55 suggests in post 24, cancel untill you are 100% happy that the tiler you are getting knows their stuff and the work wion't fail down the line, as already posted it will cost quite a bit but, you have chosen something that isn't standard.

this is a big job 15mm marble on walls , some serious prep work, then the floor to sort out, cancel the builders tiler ,employ a tiler on here and you will have an amazing bathroom in time for crimbo, instead of a disaster zone

Well. I hired a building company and the building company sent a tiler round, i did ask all these questions, actually the tiler had no idea
about the tiling and how it should be professionally fixed to the walls because I was explaining all this..
I have contacted the Builder and he said hes been doing bathrooms for 15 years etc.. i dont know cos everyone i get round to price
try to rip me off left right and center... my last quote for the tiling was REMOVED per sq meter including everything except the stone
and sealent...

Surely if he is a tiler he should have known exactly what to do, I would hold of the builder and find another tiler,maybe from this forum you will bound to get a good tiler.
