Hi everyone. I'm after some genuine comments on a job that someone did for me recently. I'd just like to get an idea of what people think of the work. I'm not going to say anymore than that, but any constructive criticism I would greatly appreciate. The photos are of a shower niche, and the...
Hi all
Was scouring sites and pages for advice on the best way to prep floors and came across this forum.
We've had an extension built and are thinking of tiling our new utility room and cloakroom. Most of the floor is new screed, but the cloakroom is where the new floor meets the existing...
Hi folks...
Had a call out a couple of weeks ago to a leaking from an enquire shower. Turns out they have tiled 600 x 300 porcelain tiles over nice shiny white ceramic tiles!
The owners want a simple fix and don't want it all taking out, so I've managed to get the bottom row of tiles off and...
Hi all, Rob here, I've been in the tiling game for 24 years working for large construction companies.
I finally decided to start up on my own so if anyone you know needs any help with a tiling project in Leicester, please point them to my website Tiler Leicester - https://tilerleicester.co.uk/...
Maybe I’m an old timer, but I reckon that Covid lockdowns have resulted in a big increase of pretend tilers messing up.
This site is for professional UK tilers only. Pretend tilers are using this for new home buyers during the race for a place during lockdown. Added to that are general Cowboys...
Hi - I have been asked to tile a kitchen floor which currently has Karndean (Or other such...) type flooring stuck possibly onto a thin board, but it is ultimately all stuck to a concrete/screed subfloor.
I've never been asked to lift this type of flooring before doing the tiling work, so...

Hello. I need to tile an indoor stairs, which trim can I use? Could be a normal aluminium L shape ? Any other suggestions I should have in mind for the job? The actual stairs are concrete. Thanks on advance!

Hi
I've recently built a roof terrace at the end of a loft extension, its around 8m2
I built the roof using 7" timber with a 300mm spacing. This was then lined with 18mm OSB. The roofers have put a Cromar GRP top coat ontop of the OSB.
I have some 20mm x 800mm x 600mm natural slate tiles I...

I've done a few tiling jobs for friends and family and it has been very fun to do. I love the...
Hi,
I’m not a tiler - which is why I have one in working away on my new kitchen floor! However I struggle to see the floor lasting very long due to the amount of void under the tiles.
I raised my concerns with the man in charge of the project who said the tiler has since explained that he will...
Hi
I'm not sure about the best preparation to tile over an area that has both wooden floor and concrete (with underfloor heating in). I'm thinking about tiling with porcelain planks. should the prep be plywood with staggered joins (perhaps made of 2 layers glued with staggered joins) nailed to...
