Tiling anything nice in September.

[AD Ceramics]

Haha yeah I know mate no worries!
Yeah I've seen that by weber
I'm waiting on reply from architect, he's aware now, as am I!
And I'll be speaking with Tilemaster also.
As I said earlier, thank you for your question.
Might have saved me some grief!

I know 3_fall I ask all the time now, not worth the hassle taking chances. When I did the balcony I was on about everybody advised me not to tile it. The customer took responsibility for it, don't know if it survived or not that was about three years ago.

What you gonna use on external asphalt? I did one years ago and nobody would commit to a spec.

Well Paul @AD Ceramics spoke with Glynn from Tilemaster this morning and following a very interesting and informative conversation, this is the outcome.
Firstly there are 4 grades of asphalt! (Who knew? Haha not me that's apparent!)
So providing it's grade A or 1 flooring asphalt, (however it's classified)
My original method was correct, apart from replacing the primeplus slurry with their new Primeplus Grip!
With one addition, because there will be exposed edges around some of the tiles, won't bore u! The use of Ardex WPJ or Mapei Adesilex PG4 to seal any exposed edges from moisture ingress! (Makes sense)
This method has also been approved by Tilemasters Chemist, just this morning!
So a big thanks to @Glynn for such a precise solution to the problem and for even suggesting the use of other manufacturers products (which he named) to give a complete solution to the problem! *tips hat!*

And thank you Paul, @Dave & @Plan Tec Tiling

That's good Marc, I knew there was different grades and understood the standard flooring grade was ok to tile on, the one I was doing on the balcony in question was very oily/greasy and that's the only reason I question the procedure.
Have they arises you which grade you are tiling on? Or is that what you are saying its flooring grade.
We learn every day thanks for info.

No no thank u! Haha
I'm still waiting for architect to confirm grade.
But at least my end is sorted!
There's a little part of me hopes that the asphalt isn't up to standard! Haha
Don't fancy leaping across roof tops, I'm not bloody Dick Van Dyke! Haha

Worth considering a harness or what?

 

[Old Mod]

It's not actually as bad as I'm making out
(it's the drama queen in me!) haha
It's a way of expressing my actual wishes, without saying what I really want to! Haha see said it anyway, kind of! Haha

Even tho it's five stories up, six including roof, it's effectively flat with ladder access to each apartment.
If it goes ahead I'll show u the view!
It'll be squeezing me and my kit down ladder that'll be fun!
I may have daytime access to one or two, but in the main they are London crash pads, so there's rarely anyone home!

You'll gave to rig up some kinda pulley Marc. What gear you gotta get up there?

 

[AD Ceramics]

Not for me. I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to heights

 

[Dan]

I am too!

 

[Old Mod]

Well there's a lift to top floor but one, then two flights of stairs to top flat where architects office is.
So it's thro his cramped office, very cramped, out on to his terrace, then up skinny ladder to access other apartments, then down ladder again!
Now being ex navy, I always go down ladders facing outwards, like going down stairs, that's just what u do and I'm used to it! But never with a tx700N under my arm! Hahaha
A pullee Ali? Why u offering to pull my gear up for me? Hahaha
Oh u do t mean that kinda pullee do u, as in employee? Hehe
U mean block and tackle! Haha

 

[Old Mod]

I am too!

I might jump outta planes guys but actuall ground level height, so to speak, I'm petrified!!
I have an uncontrollable urge to jump, I have to hang on to scaffold for dear life!
And in the words of my 21yr old "And I ain't even lying!" Haha

 

[cbmltd]

Just finished this little one today
Not bad considering I only had an angle grinder to cut these tiles

 

[Dave]

Even the straight cuts?
