where not far from your mate doug, where setting a shop up that opens in a couple of weeks in Barrow. Is he setting his shop up in Kendal? That Mapei Trade day sounds good.

yeah in Kendal mate, where Tao Tiles used to be, just behind the aution mart. Where abouts in B-i-F are you?

mapei powders if i use pre mixed stuff then i tend to use dunlop waterproof (which comes from the bal factory) only as its cheap and does a brilliant job not far off white star even the reps from ball admit.

grouts normally the mapei range due to the colours you can get and the fact its flexible/anti back the works. just need to find a mapei supplier in telford as the ones i use are in shrewsbury

Theres always Screwfix if in need.

 

[fingz999]

yeah nearest screwfix is shrewsbury unfortunatly about a stones throw from the tile shop that does mapei

 

[Gazzer]

No screwfix in Telford ???? How odd !

 

[garretridge]

mapei adhesive and bal grout in an ideal world but local tile shop dosent always stock either so have to change quite a bit. Evostick flexi white quite good to work with at £12 20kg bag it does me ok fingers crossed still no failures !

I'm Mapei but tbh that's because I have a local TileGiant and I have no complaints with Mapei.

 

[Ken Bruty]

Mapei or Weber adh or grout for me, both very well priced and excellent user friendly products, which one I use depends on where I am working at the time, as they are at either end of my area

 

[dazsin]

Granfix for me.

 

[aphilp]

We use Ardex grouts - 32 colours in a nice palette and they are on special offer until the end of the year

 

[peckers]

Ardex for me ...

 

[devonmark]

mapei or webber for me....

 

[tommyzooom]

In a perfect world in would be Bal all the way for me, however it has now got prohibitively expensive, no mapei stockists near me so can't comment. I mainly now use PCI/ Benfer
