    Fixing Loose Lay Cable System

    Bloody mats, always springing up when you don't want them too despite staples and tape - you think you've got all the curly bits until you whack some SLC on and then up they come :mad: So next time I'm going to try with loose laid cable - what are the preferred methods of holding the cable down...

    Tiling On A Sloping Wall/ceiling

    I have a shower to tile in a loft conversion - it has plumb walls to half way and then the walls follow the pitch of the roof for the remainder. I am planning to use Weber.set SPF and their primer PR360 - it's going on backer boards and the tiles are 100 x 300's ceramics. Does that sound ok...

    Tile On Tile

    Just looked at a job and they want me to tile over the existing 20 x 30 ceramic tiles on two walls - the existing tiles appear to be well stuck. It's higher than normal at 2.75m so I need to feel sure what I do is going to stay well stuck. Would just a primer be sufficient (recommend me a...

    Metro Advice Needed

    Just looked at a splashback job and the customer wants white 200 x 100 flat, not bevelled. Problem is (as I can see) is the measurement between the worktop and the horizontal angle bead on the window cill is 215mm, which will become about 225+ after the cill is tiled - she doesn't really want a...

    Cutter For 600's

    Got a job coming up with 600 x 600 polished porcelain - current Rubi cutter only goes to 500 so need an upgrade. So today I popped into CTD and he had two Sigmas in stock, a 3B2 and a 3B3M (I think) he reckoned that the 3B2 would not cut as well as the other as it had a fixed breaker foot, ie...

    Insurance

    Any of you have your tools insured? I have a PL insurance policy that doesn't cover any tools to my knowledge. I had the misfortune of having my sds drill stolen off site on Monday night even though it was locked away and I was thinking of maybe getting some tool insurance unless it's...

    Slc, What's Your Preferred Brand?

    Just looking in to what everybody likes in the way of SLC for a standard concrete/screeded solid floor (no UFH) we have been using the sealocrete stuff from Selco, it's not bad but it's certainly not great - just what you could expect for about 12 quid a bag I suppose. Is there much difference...

    Up to now, and before seeing the error of my ways by reading all the good advice on here - I have always just tiled straight on the mess that was left after taking off old tiles following suitable preparation.
