Hi, I am a old forum member from several years ago who has just signed up again. Like many others I did some tile training in Harlow and thought I could go out and become a tiler and I did quite a few jobs and they went okay. I enjoy tiling and I'm a bit of a perfectionist (good quality in a tiler?!) but I was obviously slow and very inexperienced but after a while I wasn't getting enough work and wasn't earning enough, and within a couple of years I realised how good other tilers were compared to me and I went back to my old job and I'm still doing it. Which is fine.
But now I need to do some work on my own house, a pretty big bathroom, 4m x 4m, and I wonder if I can ask some advice? Some of my questions have been answered already by searching the forum.
It's a very solid period property with sound timber floorboards and the bathroom is on the first floor. I previously did a few jobs where I laid 6mm cement boards over floorboards before tiling and I wonder if this is still a good plan? Or is there a new product you can recommend which would work better or is cheaper or superior? Some kind of matting maybe?
Would appreciate any help, thanks.
