[Mr T]

Charlie yes mate done a week with him was hoping for more experience with him but I landed some paid work with a builder so had to take it. Hes sound matey

 

[Mr T]

Yeh thanks tj but im not askin anyone to give up there time giving me the answers to my questions on here is more than I can ask.

Id still go for it. As long as the boards are the same thickness you shouldn't have any problems. Make sure you have all materials ready before you do the rip out

One thing i have never done and never will do is tile on tile. Rip it out Mr T

 

[Mr T]

Ya win some ya loose some ive told her I wont do it unless she. Has it re-boarded... If she wants it done il have a bash and if not no worries

 

[AliGage]

Fair play mate. Your asking for trouble tiling over tiles in my opinion. Especially as you're just starting out. Don't want your first problem this early on.

legally if anything went wrong its down to you, as a tiler by tiling the wall you are accepting that the substrate is adequate even if the customer insisted and signed saying you advised and she made the decision not to do it properly it would not hold up in court so the buck stops with you , Do it properly, do it once !

i've had to rip down tiles that were on tiles and they were on well..very well !...I also rent a house that the landlords builder...rubbish at that, tiled straight over the existing tiles..and they are solid...it can be done..but depends on a lot of factors that you may not know.

 

[Mr T]

Yeh I mean im just not gonna tile on tile and if I mess up the prep il pay for it to be fixed and then il tile... Its a close mate so there wont be a problem only thing is..
