I've been working away this week and ran out of adhesive! Popped into a Tile Showroom in Farnsworth ( near Bolton) at 8-15 this morning. No one answered the automatic doorbell for 5 minutes, then it took another 5 minutes from pressing the assistance bell for a 'lady' to come down the stairs and...

OK heres the basic story: Back in August i think it was I started a travertine wetroom (you might of seen my thread about this i will find the link in a min) Anyway the customers son had "prepared" the room ready for me to tile but had not stuck the floor membrane to the floor and also all of...

Hi all Got recommended for a job, went to look at it. Massive house,6 en-suites all in engineered quartz. Tiles loose in every room,grout cracked everywhere,wet trays not supported underneath and walls are ply,plasterboard and whatever else. Customer wants me to go over existing...

Had the site to myself today so i-pod on my site radio really quite loud. I was laying hardiebacker and had just stuck a board down and was stood on it wiggling it down before I screwed it. Customer poked his head round the door while I was singing my head off and shuffling on the HB...totally...

...several years of this bathroom took its toll...YUK !

went to start a floor today, when i got there the tiles were 400x400 polished porcelain from b&q, when i quoted the job it was a basic 300x300 white cermics with a grey vein, when i pointed out the tiles have changed they swore blind they were the same tiles, when i read the box on the new tiles...

Hi all, sensible opinions please. I have been working on a job for 3 days and work has come to a halt as the tiles don't arrive for another 2 weeks so all I have been doin is prep work. Anyway customer is very unhappy, customer was responsible for ordering the tiles and relations have...

Does anyone else get customers like this. What you say versus what they hear? "That needs priming" "Throw some pva on it" "You will need white flexi adhesive for those tiles" "I'll get the adhesive for you my mate can get it cheap, he reckons I just need the grey stuff, and it's cheaper"...

Last week completed a job for an ex-copper to tile his whole bathroom (floors and walls). On wednesday something cropped up which meant i couldn't go back thursday and friday (i don't make a habit of it but it was an emergency and the customer was very understanding). I said to the guy i'd come...

I'v been looking for a new laser level, for walls and floors spotted on the internet, FLT Geo systems in the US, selling a PLS2, and the PLSFT90 combo pack for $430 inc delivery, about £265. I also saw the Leica lino 2+, which is £175+vat. I'm not to sure if this does floor. I emailed both...

Calling all good tilers out there please! I have a situation with a friend. He has had an ongoing extension project harboured by bad weather (rain and freezing temps). However, a fairly large (30 sqm) solid T&C floor had been prepared for tiling with 8mm ply on T&G prior to heavy rains which...

Just thought I would let you know about my experience with wallsandfloors.co.uk, so you will hopefully think twice before using them. I have refrained from posting this until my issue was resolved. I ordered a load of adhesive, primer, a few tools etc from here on Sunday 2nd Oct as the website...

Hi ready to grout my tumbled marble install customer has decided not to put skirting on and not to seal with silicone she wants me to flexible grout around edge! whats your opinions!!

I’ve just laid 30sqm of tumbled unfilled travertine. I filled the pits with grout and the customer is really pleased. I now need to seal. However, there is a slight grout haze which is really annoying me. When I wipe the tile it goes, but of course it comes back again. I have been doing the...

Hi all, just a quick rant about my customer who is driving me round the bend. Yesterday i started a 7sqm splash back in 100 x 100 tiles.....to have glass tiles "randomly" placed within. these glass tiles measure 102 x 102 mm???. In this Kitchen there are 13 electric sockets Flush fitting flat...
