Well....... not strictly true, you can improvise to a point, but it does make life a whole lot simpler.

Bit off track. Had email from W London bath company. Could you cut down a 2400x1200 tile to 1800x1200 put them on a 20 mm backer board so contractor can install ? No. Lol get a tiler for install not Bob the builder

Snap!
No mention of Builder installing tho

Copied from email.

We have a client who requires 11 sheets of 2400x1200x6mm tile to be cut down to 1800x1200mm.

It then needs to be placed on some sort of backer to bring the tile up to 20mm thick.

Is this something you could do?


I did figure it was distributed to more than just me.
But then it did begin,
“To whom it may concern”
And as my email has my name in it, it wasn’t too big a leap to figure it was sent to multiple parties.

Hi Rupert
Not wanting to sound rude. If the contractor can install then he should do the prep. We are tilers not labourers. He could put 20mm of latex down then tile ?
Kind regards
Simon
