Hello everyone, would just like to say that this is a great forum, I dont post on here much but I do lurk in the shadows reading lots from time to time! anyway heres my post, have just been told off a possible job from a neighbour whos been working on an extension for someone, and they are wanting the ground floor of their place all tiled,approx 50m2, Ive not been round to see it myself so im just going on what i have been told, they're wanting lounge, hallway kitchen in a shiny tile, im asuming a polished porc, running though the rooms.
Now, i still consider myself a newbie ,I did a 4 week course 2 years ago down at pts in harlow and have been doing tiling jobs in between my main job as I work shifts one week on one off, I was hoping to swap the shift work for working for myself, but for obvious reasons havnt given up the main job just yet, whislt im happing doing bathrooms and kitchens I have not had this come up before and was wandering on the following :-
1. What would be the best way to set this out ,if I set out the lounge floor, then the chances of the hallway and kitchen all working out fine is zero! so surley you have to separate the room or rooms somehow where you cant get the cuts right?
2. I take it movement joints would have to be used?
3. Slc would have to be used to get the floors level im guessing as I havnt seen it for myself, but would you guys also use a backer board on the floors aswell to get a really flat surface?
All help and tips would be very much welcomed
