Wicked tiling Dev,Rustic Pearl slate I see OK for £ 1.79 each at guess where! when I did any riven slate,before sealing and grouting,always used to chip level any bits sticking up much higher on the edges with a bolster chisel,always easier to grout up like that. Fabulous work, v.classy, every credit Dev:wink_smile:

Thanks guys, blown away by the feedback to be honest :embaressed_smile:.

The slate was provided for the job, my mate picked it up from B&Q I believe. It was their last 20 boxes on sale as they had discontinued it. He needed 18.75 sqm and the 20 boxes came to........20 sqm. he only paid £180 for the whole lot I think.

Gaz, like you say I took a lot/all of the rough/loose layers off the tiles initially as no doubt they'd end up chipping off anyway in time. Left some nice colouring underneath too which is a bonus.

Thanks again for all the feedback, really appreciate it.
And thanks again to Darren from NETT, he created a monster what can I say!
