Tiled walls with lino floor advice please

[pro-handyman]

1. If bathroom walls are to be tiled floor to ceiling (with no skirting) is it best to tile down to floorboards leave couple mm gap with wedges and get lino fitter to fit up to tiles?

2. Is it best to get lino fitted after walls are tiled but before basin and toilet are in as if it were a tiled floor?

Any other tips for this scenario greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I would go with option 2 myself.

Thanks Sir Ramic, Would you still tile walls right down to floor first and then get lino fitter to fit against tiles. I would still silicone to finish off.

dont forget to line the floor or the floor boards will show through the lino

Yes to the floor leaving a small gap.

doesnt make much difference if lino fitter is good at his work, neater if lino down before wc and pedestal though, you may need to remove wc and pedestal or cut lino if you ever want to change it again.

option 2 for me although i recomend using a captile bead about three inches up from the floor and run the altro / lino up into it to make a better seal between tiles and lino.
