    no falls

    Had this before with builders 🤦‍♂️ either chop out and drop pre-formed trays in the shower areas (presuming they havn't run the pipes into the shower areas)or walk because you'll have a nightmare.

    Kitchen Floor - Tiles Dilemma - Need Help

    The latex has been mixed way too wet by the looks of the light colour of it so was bound to fail. What did he prime it with? is he floor solid when you walk on it or is there any deflection in the floor (up and down movement?) If the deflection is minimal, remove the ply and get back to...

    Advice on Bad tiling job

    Its a rip out and start again but do not ask them to come back and do it as it will be the same again. Christ knows how they get away with this.

    Feedback on cloakroom WC wall tiling

    Thats a lash up although tiling half way up a way can cause the gap issue if the walls are not dead plumb.

    coping on top of external walls/breeze block using Porcelain. Yes or No?

    Evening all, Got an external job on the go and the customer has requested the tops of the breeze block walls to be tiled using the same external 10mm porcelain tiles as the patio. My question is would it be ok to tile directly to the blocks or would I need to overboard (mechanically fixed) them...

    Is this wall and floor tiling acceptable?

    Not nice Tess, looks like they are probably a bit chancy and unfortunately they have had you a bit here but its difficult for a customer to choose the right tradesman sometimes. With regards, the Silicon, use a colour match as close to the tile as you can to hide the joint, will look miles...

    Is this wall and floor tiling acceptable?

    Hi Tess, Unfortunately there are a few setting out issues here and clearly the cost IMO is a little over the top for that amount of tiling with the tile you have chosen. However, it is retrievable to a point as the actual tiling looks ok as i'm assuming of course that the tiles are meant to be...

    Tips for setting out

    For instance: basin on window wall with wall mounted taps off centre to window. so you centre to window or centre to tap. thats a compromise.

    Tips for setting out

    If you have to compromise a setting out line as it doesn't work out nice on every obstacle, where do you guys do that? For me i'd say the top of the door into the bathroom is the least critical point in general.

    Not happy with tiling job - or am I being picky?

    doesn't look great but the chances are that the planks will be slightly bowed which will cause lippage no matter what the installer does. The light is probably making it look worse aswell.
