I watched it last night. Not my kind of house but the attention to detail was impressive. I was surprised at the amount of adhesive used, a bag per tile?

Someone mentioned he was using a mineral based adhesive as opposed to cement, not something I'm clued up on to be honest but maybe they don't yield as much as the cements.

The reason that it was hoped it's a mineral based adhesive is that the screed is anhydride. Unless very careful prep is undertaken the cement based addy won't adhere to the screed.
Best way to deal with it is to use an addy which is gypsum based.
Such as Anhyfix.

Yes I knew about the screed, was just suggesting reasoning for the poor yield, as ali said, I expect 3m²+ would be the norm. Iv no doubt there was some exaggeration going on anyway tbh.

Lol yes definitely some exaggeration on the quants then, maybe he went in low on the price and quickly realised he wasn't getting enough since it's a £1.3m build

Haha well thats a thought! 🙄
Watched this yesterday on the repeat show. Kitchen was never worth 120 grand. These people don't half get ripped off. Brushed aluminium and wood Pmsl cheapest materials known to man. Oven with digital door release. Alrightythen there's what, 20 quid. My kids pretend laptop has one the whole laptop was a fiver.
The kitchen was littered with Gaggenau appliances........job I just done had a fridge, freezer and a wine cooler.....£20,000 plus!!!!
These people just spend for fun. The other house I'm on the spent 45 grand on a sub-zero fridge and a Wolf stove......my house was only 50 grand when I bought it.

Those Sub Zero's are something else!
Yeah. I can spend anything, but I get quality. He didn't have much quality worth the money he got ripped off left right and centre. He had a warehouse structure. Cheapest going. That kitchen wasn't worth that money. Commercial kitchens in Michelin star kitchens would be that much and you'd get a hell of a lot more cash.
What the hell was a whole bag of adhesive being used per tile? 16 quid a bag too. I'd have gone to the manufacturers. Surely that tiler was laughing all the way to the bank.
Wasn't worth 1.3 no way on earth.

It was incognito. If the tap didn't stick out the unit I'd have thought it was an office area lol
