Evening all.
Just been to quote for a floor 2nite. Got their and find that a tiler has already started the job but is unable to finish it until January so the customer wants someone else to finish it.
She is basically having all of her downstairs living area tiled. (Dining room, Lounge and hall) the dining room has already been tiled in ceramic tiles going down onto concrete with no UFH. The area that she wants me to tile is 22m2 in all and i would say the dining room that's already tiled is about 10-12m2. Im not really happy finishing someonelse'sjob off but he looks like he has used decent stuff (Mapei rapid set addy and flexi grout) However my main question is for a area of that size would i need an expansion joint in there somewhere or would it be ok to just lay them as they are? Never done a floor this big before so was looking for a bit of guidance before i put my quote in. The only thing i wasn't happy about was that he has grouted around the edges of the perimiter where i would of siliconed it.
Also some of the floor where the hearth from the fireplace has been removed needs repairing and building up to the level of the floor. Is it ok to go with a couple of layers of rapid set to bring it up to level or would i have to use something else????
