I tend to get one every thursday , most are sound but some are .. well not so nice.. if ya get my drift.. but it is work.

 

[Gazzer]

Most of the ones I get are new build on the side of the house so not often I get to go inside the original part. Works for me
Probably get one a month through council grants . Its a small building firm that I do it for and we mostly all went to the same school.. always makes good chatting at lunch times.

 

[DHTiling]

Ye i sub to the plumbing comp that does these... sometimes they upgrade the tiles to better ones...

Did one last week and the old tiles had been on 18 yrs and had to tie into the old tiling and believe it or not topps still sold them lol lol ... different shades as you would expect but jeez , never thought they would still get them..

It was a proper mare trying to tie into the blokes tiling as well ..

Got aroung 18M2 to do, bathroom walls. It's quite a big bathroom in an old farmhouse, 18m2 is only half height. then got a Karndean floor going down in there once the builder has sorted the levels out (currently runs out by 75mm from corner to corner) will never be perfect but certainly needs a bit of attention! then got a fireplace to do in the same house. Had some 600x400 slate left over from the floor I did a couple of weeks ago which I'm going to cut down to 100x100 or 150x75.... not sure yet. There's only around 1.5m2 to tile but got the whole day to play around and create something.

Nothing spectacular. 20m2 walls in 25 x 33 Super Relief with glitter glass mosaic border & 30 x 30 Onyx black. All prep work was done last week. New suite, shower, lighting, towel warmer etc.
Here's before. Lovely & pink!

Dave - I would like to say we are suffering from our past, but I will not know till later in the week. We should have started a Big floor on the 18th and be finished 2nd week of Feb but they asked to hold back a week till we meet the owner as he now wants the 'wow' factor befitting a 5" property! They said they've looked at our web page and thought they'd not rush the project and ask for some tiler input to the designers plans. Well with the snow that meeting is now in this coming week so we have to wait to see is it's on hold or they really do want the Savoy treatment!
Still I'am off on my travels again the end of the week to the sunny south so I may only have a couple of days to get some exhibition displays up to date - only 10 months to go.

 

[CJ]

Large Toilet/shower block. Walls & floors. For the next few weeks at least.

[EverDon Tiling]

Was ment to be finishing off a trav Bathroom but had a call an hour ago now I'm off to cleethorpes pier. It goes to auction on Saturday and the current owner has just been to check on it and its flooded because of freezing pipes this will be the third year I've fixed the leaks last time it took days. Good job the house I'm working on is empty but could do without it really I'm so far behind as it is
