You already have Andy, that's like walking in a room, farting, leaving and let everyone else sort it out between them

i give a 3 to 4 mm clearance and like some of the other guys measure down from hinge if ive got thick tiles like the 22 mm ones fixing today will use a hand saw to cut down about 3mm from my line then plain down with my bosch plainer

I've bowed to the pressure and have bought some wood butchering tools this year, I even fitted a door casing the other week

Always done threshold strips, haven't learnt how to hang a door yet, that's next on my syllabus

 

[Ian]

How many if you who don't/won't cut plinths or doors to finish undercut architrave and casings to slide your tiles under??

The multi tool is king for undercutting, every tiler should own one.

Easy on a square, plumb casing but after that it's all downhill Bri, just done one today where I've had to trim 3.5" and 2.5" top and bottom because its a slightly shorter casing and then retrim the top and bottom for stability as its a hollow door.

Absolutely. Was without mine today so I had to trim architraves with a saw! :0
