It is only to see which payment band you would fall in :lol: .... but a recommend from a fellow TTA member will help 🙂

I once seen 15 mm thick granite stuck to a plastered wall with no apparent problems, one piece was actually on the ceiling section of a long alcove. I'm well aware of the reality of what can be achieved in real world. There are others factors that would dictate how much if at all you would want to breach the limits such as if the wall was plumb and if the bottom row of tiles where tiled on top of the floor tiles. We all take our chances but lets put it in to perspective and I hope no one uses the old extreme scenario here with babies having tiles fall on there head in the bath. We are sticking tiles not landing aeroplanes.

I've gone over with porcelain but equally I've turned down stone onto newly plastered walls. Agreed, the BS is merely a guideline and there has to be a tolerance.

It's all about risk assessment surely.

The spare tyre on my car says it should be run at no more than 50mph. If I do 55mph is it likely to burst. I don't know the answer. Mine may not, but my mates tyre could and cause an accident.

Will the plaster hold 22kg? Well it might do in this house but it won't in another!!
