Your right there colour, i forgot about the UFH.
I take it the tiler put it down??

Yes but it was electric matting type just needed laying out and taping at seams. It has not been connected.

As easy as that eh?...:smilewinkgrin:....what about the grouting...you didn't reply..why hasn't he come back..?

I either seal the slate before starting to tile, or seal as I go knowing people have to use the room. Also, it takes nothing to throw a cover over the work & leave a note of do's & dont's...............

Has the tiler mentioned why it has not been connected yet? Are you aware you won't be able to use the UFH until the tile adhesive has fully cured?

As many of you know, I have recently completed a Cappuccino Marble hallway (25sqm 'ish). I had to prepare the subfloor with slc and cut around and under the bullnose stair. This job took a few days and I made sure that I kept the customer informed and educated. I used a rapid setting adhesive and ensured that the last tile was fixed at least 2 hours before the time that I knew my customer would be returning home. I ensured that the fixed tiles were covered until I had a chance to do the sealing and I advised my customer of the importance of keping off the floor as much as possible, and the risks of staining and scratching.

My customer was very keen for the perfect finish and made sure that the floor was respected, so all went well.

The tiler should ensure effective communication with the customer so that the perfect finish can be achieved, it's just common sense and respect.

By both parties involved don't you agree..?

Dave - see post 17.

I was not giving my opinion on whether it was easy or not - just giving as full a response as possible to the question asked. My main problem on the time taken is that it must have taken alot longer because of all the cuts, it does not look as good because of the cuts and I do not see why they could not lay before the kitchen (the same company did both jobs) this is not the tilers fault but the project manager.

My point exactly Dave

I assume that they wikk send an electrician to connect. Thanks - I was'nt aware we could not use the UFH (not a problem at tne moment given unexpected sunshine!).
