Where and What to buy??

[smarty72]

As someone completly new to this, this is my 1st post, just wondering what I should be looking to buy as an essential part of my kit, what else to buy, i.e. not essential but usefull to have, and where the best place to buy from??

I am planning on doing a 4/5 day course on tiling, with a view to making this my occupation, dependent on how things go. As it stands I am buying 'kit' every month, just small items so far from B & Q.

This kit I will use on my own home projects, ( full bathroom, hall way floor, full kitchen, and dining room floor. If I am happy enough with thev work I carry out then i'll look for other projects from friends and family, no charge just for the expierence. If i'm happy and they are with my work then i'll look furthrt inton doing it, long way off that at the mo!!

Thanks for reading and hopefully replying!!

Fein Multimaster IMO is a piece of kit you'll never regret buying. Has many many uses even if you decide not to make tiling your occupation.

The other thing is a washboy. Makes cleaning up grouting ten times easier, quicker and cleaner.

Essential essential is a good selection of good quality trowels. You'll want thick bed solid bed, thin bed solid bed, 6mm wall (or similar), possibly mosaic at the least.

Take a look at buybrandtools.com for ideas of other stuff out there.
