Is It A Good Time To Start Doing Exterior Tiling

This is something that personally p####s me off! I have only done 1 job outside this year, as soon as the weather hits minus and it is raining non stop outside work starts. I have had 8 calls within 2 weeks to tile or repair stairs. It's a no from me haha

Big problem here will be the frost (-4 this morning). If the adhesive and grout is exposed to frost before it has had time to fully set they may start to crumble so it will need protecting. Also check out the SLC you are going to use as not all are suitable for outside use. Many concrete slabs outdoors do not have a DPM under them which will cause the damp to rise through the slab and can "blow" the SLC off the surface which in turn will cause the tiles to come loose.

Why is it always outside work in winter and conservatories on the hottest f#*!ing day in summer? Rhetorical question by the way. Chivers wait till the weather warms up.

I've said to the customer I'd do it in the summer, but they got there heart set on doing before Christmas but I said you can try any tiler but they will say what I'm saying, they won't Touch it till summer
