Alan, I still owe you a decent job to make up for that one. I wonder if that tiled ceiling is still there? must bee 2 tons hanging of that!

Why not use plasterboard or marmox? Nomoreply is a gypsum board if I remember right, last time we used it we had to prime each side before it came into contact with adhesive, so alot more work involved using this!

fast set isnt the same as rsf, when we used it (a few years back granted) it was just sand and cement slurry in a bag!

depends on the builder, and make some provision for snagging, if the houses arent selling then they will snag you until they do sell. Johnsons ceramic tile ranges for new build are **** frankly, cheap biscuit and thin glaze, a lot of hassle these jobs. you shouldn't pay more than 89p+VAT for...

trouble is, this how it is, i have the same problem at the moment, they will bend you over and you got to accept it, but how much they bend you over is up to you? anyway, £20/m2 s+f it is now from me!

to the original question, for 180m2 we supply and fit ditra @ 10gbp/m2 + VAT for large runs (we have gone lower still), 180m2 broken into smaller areas £15.00 + VAT which I believe is standard.

Time served tiler required for a small housing development just outside of Guildford, approx 200m2 of porcelain wall and floor tiling, Ditra and aluminium trim work. Good rates, must have usual kit for site work. We hope to have three units totalling 135m2 ready for the end of next week. Please...

first, the builder would be erecting partioning so don't worry about that, secondly two labourers will take one day to smash up the lot of the existing (don't expect that the old tiles will be welded to the screed). easy, kango the lot up and chuck in skip (builder providing?). latex and ready...

next week complete house refurb, stone and porcs, been recommended to a new builder, so in we go!

They are looking for check prices to compare to their usual subby, waste of time, straight into dustbin
