any pointers please.

Hi this is my first project. I would like a little advise on setting out and squaring the window. From the photo you can see the waste pipes for wc and sink are centered around the window, ( ignore socket it has been safely removed ) which will take presidence when setting out . I will be using 400x250 ceramic tiles and a 3tile travatine mosaic as a border to finish half way up the window. I want to keep the window sill. I will be using a piece of plastic trim between sill and mosaics and but jointing the mosiacs at the top . My questions are do I cut sill to accomodate tile or cut tile to accomodate sill ? and in which order do I tile ? Do i tile from first full tile at bottom to level on sill, then square window , tile up sides of window . or tack up trim to squared measurement of window and then tile to this , followed by tiles in reveal?

any advise appreciated.

There's a lot of questions there, but basically, you're asking how to set-out the wall, and if you should remove the sill, or tile round it. But you say you wanna keep the sill.
I'd either chop the ends off, or remove the whole cill / overboard etc.

Setting-out & 'how to tile a window' have been covered many a time, so do a quick search and you'll see lots of previous advice on how to set-out etc...

But, as per my 1st reply on your 1st thread, get some quotes?
