It's certainly different I'll give you that.

However, the 1" or whatever size strip it is on the top row of the wall where the kettle is, is not really right.

What you ought to have done is gone 5 rows high, or if customer only wanted 4, took a line up to the edge of the cupboard, tiled upto underside of cupboards then back down to 4 rows outside of the cupboards.
You wouldn't normally put a cut on the top row.

Same with the wall to the left of the extractor, always try and make the top row a full tile not a cut.

But if it's your first job, I suppose I may be being too critical.

Just advising mate that's all.🙂

 

[Mr Tiler]

Thats very good advice there remember that whenever your doing splash's/ half height tiling mate always try to finnish on a full tiler it always looks better

 

[Tezer]

Nice one mate looks nice, the more you tile your faster your become, keep up the good work well done.

 

[StevieBoy]

speed is isnt an issue when your first starting out getting it right is more important.
speed comes with practice and practice comes by doing a good job and getting recommended by your clients. 90percent of my work comes from repeat business good luck.

[ANDY F]

Thanks all for the encouragement. As a matter of interest, what could you do differently in that corner? And how long would it take you professionals to do the job? Cheers

Typically speaking Andy, it would take me 3-4 hours to do a kitchen like that. But as mentioned practice makes perfect. The speed side of it comes with time. Ohhh and cracking job Andy keep up the good work ;-)
