Hello lads and ladies, I've been working on a new website. www.FreeRatedTraders.com. It's a directory but it will come with some awesome features and it's well optimised. I'm aiming for a check-a-builder and mytrader type website, but free for both the customers and the tradesepeople. I need...

Doing a bit of spring cleaning today on my fireplaces. I put my hand up and pulled out these items!

Hello, we have just had some tiling done. The tiles look ok in the daylight, but when you turn the lights on they don’t look very straight/ flush. When you run your hands over them you can tell where some of the tiles aren’t quite flush. The wall is new and was freshly plastered before tiling...

Not sure if this is allowed, but I got an email the other day from CTD. It contained a link to Marcrist for a free 850 INOX cutting disc. Give your details and show/print voucher to your chosen store...

It is Halloween and I have not done a pumpkin this year, no time! So I want to see yours :)

We have another new feature. (Been here a while actually but I tend not to overwhelm you with instructions else nothing sinks in ;) lol) If you follow somebody on the forum these days, you get some extra options. You can opt to get an alert when people you follow post to the forum. So if you...

Just had a call from my customer asking why I recommended the bathroom walls not to be skimmed ( fully tiled ). he said the plasterer found it very strange and asked that he double checks with the tiler as he advises that they are skimmed. More like he wants to charge him extra instead of just...

I have a customer looking for a Moroccan or geometric style floor in her bathroom. Any chance of some pics of ones you’ve completed and where the tiles were from as it might help her visualise the finished job. Thanks :)

There are many different types out there, I have one I recommend. Which one do you lads recommend / fit and is it different for different substrates?

A huge factor when buying tiles are the cost of them. But not just them, the adhesive and grout too. But not even just those three things, the products needed to prepare your background (substrate) to tile to is often the part that is missed out when it comes to costings. We've made a whole new...

I'm going to set something up tomorrow so that we can host all your videos, no matter how big or how long. Upload them for free. Not get lost amongst cat videos and stuff like they do on YouTube. I'll rip all the good ones and host them on here. Let people ask for us to take them down like...

Just found this video and wondered if your tile coverage is better than his? 1568309703 And then there's this guy. Who is using lash clips. I thought they helped get a more even coverage by pulling the tiles together. Did he need more water in his mix so it became a bit smoother? I know...

We don't want to discuss what you voted for and who likes who the best - but for discussing how your think your business could be affected by Brexit then use this thread. So How do you think your business will be affected by Brexit? Would it be better to leave or stay? Has your business...

I've always let members have their account deleted by me if they ask. I used to talk them into staying, I think that's against privacy laws now. As a firm with their details - if they request it, it's done. https://www.tilersforums.com/account/delete You can see where Dave's, Doug's (and I...

Hi everybody, I've setup the new tilers directory and started to transfer old listings over to it. But it's doing my head in now. So I'll show you how to do it instead. Do it in these stages and you will rank well in search engines. The listings I've done are already ranking one first page of...

what ever happened to tilers in your area site?

So the new tags that automatically get dished out by the forum work on a ratio of your posts versus the likes those posts have received. So here's my profile: As you can see I have 23,000 posts and just under 5,000 'reaction score' (basically, likes). So my score isn't even 1:1. Or even 2:1...
