Well I'm getting muddled up but that photo of four of us is walking through no mans land to border crossing between Algeria and Morocco . Think it was oujda. I remember clearly that we had a problem about Algeria . As tourist /backpackers we could of get in and get a reasonable rTe of exchange . I remember buying dinars in the soul in Cueta
Top notch work again Jonny as ever. Not being critical...... but the left hand turn going up the staircase not sure why the skirting painted white runs round the external corner and the white trim across the riser, not your decision I'm guessing it just stands out too much for me.
But your workmanship really is something to behold, I love looking at your work and the houses you work in. Top man Jonny!!

the timber doesn't look great across riser does it . I did nt notice what they'd done after we finished stone till you pointed it out. In fact that second stone staircase had to be fudged round with winders as originally set out for timber .

Different thicknesses not a problem but the guy who started the job used all the thin ones and then we had to try and patch up with thick tiles and he only had abut 2-3 mm bed of adhesive under them. There were a few with honing marks on them,mainly along the short edge of them for about 4 inches.nice heavy tiles though definitely a 2 man job
I think I would have either replaced the skirting with a stone upstand or painted the skirting and wood across the riser the same colour as the stone to make it 'disappear'
You may lose the symmetry with the r/h/s skirting but I still think it would look better than it standing out like it does now

It is actually the thing I noticed right away.
Thought in uk is normal.
But no.
in any case great work

On left side it would look right with all stone skirting but then not be in keeping with wood skirting around rest of landing.

Ok I understand now . Really nice stone . Did yours come from artisans or somewhere else
That was my thought but maybe keep the white skirting on the left but paint the white on the riser, to me it just looks like it spoils the fantastic work you have done and looks like it's just stuck on to fill a gap
@wayne Just found out this week that Tiles and Mosaics are now supplying Ca Pietra, if you ever need it

Why cover the riser at all .that is part of staircase
J
jonnyc
I'll look it up thanks
Exactly, is it to cover an expansion joint, was the floor laid after the tiles were fixed?
J
jonnyc
Yes
That strip across the riser must be to cover the expansion joint

This stone is definitely from artisans then . so what is your contact . Are you recommended by artisan or their sister company . Always good to hook up with a fellow stone fixer

It'd take me 3 days just to set that wall out!!
My contact is through a bespoke kitchen showroom near me at Leeds. They deal with ca pietra which I think has something to do with artisan but I'm not too sure. Done 3 big jobs for them in last few months so hoping there's much more to come as I love working with stone. We did the showroom floor in Buxton blue limestone which looked real nice.

They are part of a group of companies set up when artisans split up .they do some nice stone

I am fortunate that artisans recommend me to fix their stone and they asked me to do a job for abramovich which they supplied stone for . I worked for him through Paris ceramics first time but he chose artisans second time round
