How best to Tile a room? - TilersForums.com

It isn't going to end well. Good advise ignored. There is no helping someone who thinks throwing down a few tiles is easy. UFH, different substrates, deflection issues, awkward cuts and all with 800 x 800 tiles.

What could possibly go wrong with this diy job....

Well I didn't ask should I do it or not, I asked how best to do it.

I've bought all the materials and equipment so I will be doing it myself.

You missed a trick there, did you pay retail price?

 

[mp3wizard]

The tiles couldn't be got for cheaper, the tiler I was going to use checked, and I spent £150 on tools, so I can't see that massive savings would of been made, maybe £40 at most.

Fair enough. All the best then

On a serious note, take plenty of pics of before, during & after then start a new thread showing off your work.

I agree with most that you are better off getting a professional in, but at the same time I always love it when the underdog shines through and proves a point! At the end of the day this is your property and not like some we have had on here before wanting to take on complex jobs for paying customers without the knowledge.

I'm with Plan, and if you are struggling come on for advice with photos and your problems, you never know some of 'us' may play nice

thanks chaps, the first challenging part for me will be putting on the SLC I guess.
