Cutting out door frames to fit tile under

[EdMac]

Just wondering what height to cut clear - Tile + How much for adhesive?

The tiles are 59cm x 59cm porcelain and 9-12mm thick. I have a 20mm trowel. I think that is 15mm height so applied at an angle presumably will be somewhere between 9 and 12mm (depending on angle)... is there an official way to work this out?

The house is not that old so door frames are an MDF style material and should be easy enough to cut away.

To be fair, no one seems to give a flying broccoli and cauliflower sammich what yiu say sweetcheeks

You’re doing a great job of not caring what I say. Keep up the good work

Now I'm completely confused!

Context old chap. The vast majority of my work is bathroom related so I would remove the architrave but if I were to do a kitchen floor for example then sometimes I would leave it on especially if it’s purely a floor and nothing else. If I was doing a whole kitchen refurb and skirting, I’d replace the architrave too. Better job IMHO. Each job is different.

@widler and @Waluigi - Constructive comments from here please lads as you’ve gone off on a tangent from the OP - cutting door frames .....
We do have a personal messaging service which you may find useful.
Agree to disagree and move on.
