David, this post was written 8 years ago!!! I haven't a clue what the work is like in France. This was a one off job. Good luck anyway.

Makes me shudder when you write about these large, dense, fragile, thin tiles. Brings back memories of trying to handle, cut and move a 3m x 1m thin tile on a wet & windy building site in the middle of Winter a few years ago. The first tile broke when the wind got under it and blew it away like...

Easy question to answer: SIGMA SERIES 3 C2M MAX TILE CUTTER 74cm. I only tile upto 60x60 but you need a bigger cutter for diagonal cuts. The only exception to size is a wood effect porcelain tile which normally go upto 100cm for which I have a cheap 1mtr cutter off ebay. You know yourself...

Ray, a bit of a long story involving a lady I did a quote for tiling her porch. She did not accept my advice or quote, but opted to employ the decorator to tile the floor. She had me back again to quote for her new conservatory, but told me not to look at the porch floor because she is not...

Hows this for a floating floor. From the bottom to the top. Conservatory with concrete base. 25mm insulation bonded to 18mm chipboard. Electric UFH film (designed for laminate or wood floor). Vapour barrier. 9mm ply screwed down through all the above and into the concrete. Lady pleaded with me...

I had better buy 2 sets then! Seriously, most rooms I do are about 2m long. I'll give them a go and report back.

Tiletracker only £59.99 plus £1 p&p @ Buy Suretile 2.25m Tile Tracker with Tiling Multitool from IdealWorld.tv I'm gong to give this one a go. I've tried Rubi stands and they make the job more difficult. A complete waste of money. I always tile the wall one tile up, then the floor, then the...

Wow this thread has certainly gone off topic, who could have predicted how comment #1 would end up over three years later as comment #21 – Amazing, but not as amazing as Afright’s journey. This is certainly a case for keeping threads open and alive for ever. Afright, any chance of your...

This tool is back at LIDL this Thursday.

They will need to have a 'slip test' done on the floor. Search for 'Marble Tony' on this forum. Tony's company does slip testing.

I've found that Ivory silicone is the best match for Limestone. Limestone silicone is way too grey for limestone! However, I forget what brand of silicone I used - sorry.

Customers that don't accept my quotes! Customers that say they can tile, but don't have the time. Customers that don't offer me tea/coffee. People that put Tile training centres in Room 101 !!!!!! Efflorescence.

Water contamination?.....maybe.

Motorola Defy (lifeproof phone) Ha. Three broken screens later........... I have now given it to my 8 year old. She wanted an ipod so this will do.....I hope! I now have a cheap Sony android, but the speed of it (slow) gets me annoyed sometimes.
