Remove plinths for tiling a floor?

[cam_low]

I think its nuts that a oost like this has reached 14 pages! Seriously?? Over cutting a damn plinth!!!

are you psychic ? on page 11 it says 14 ? lol

I always remove and trim plinths and doors if needed, don't see the point in going to the hassle of getting a joiner in to do something I'm perfectly capable of doing.

Don't mind me while I bump some old but popular threads to see if the topic is still active in some way. Wondering if either the original idea or original issue still exists. I've done this with quite a few threads, so don't be offended if this is just jargon these days and not applicable. But I thought there might be a small chance a small percentage of the small number of threads might just be slightly applicable and the thread could get a new lease of life.

Reply to this if you've read a bit and have something to say.
There IS going to be a bigger chance when i do this, that the thread is dead. So don't worry if that's the case, just don't reply to it, and we'll all move on and let the thread drop out of view again.

Spark to disconnect lights, chippy to cut plinths, minimum £100 and you charge customer £60, everyones happy!!!

All sounds a bit risky to me, have you done a risk assessment? :smilewinkgrin:

 

[widler]

Good god ,my price was extortionate anyhow,I will do it myself with a bit of insulation tape a fuse and a bow saw for the plinths ,job sorted

I've had to stop doing kitchen splash backs now because the sockets are too dangerous to remove and tile behind, I also don't do bathrooms if there's a shaver socket and have to tile around washing machines and cookers due to them being far too risky to remove :lol:

Just bumping some of the older popular (sometimes not so popular) threads. Probably wont be current discussion these days but I just need to do it. So just ignore the thread if it's not current for you.
