[Jeff the tiler]

Need a lot of hardbacker or similar for a large project and just wanted to see if anyone knows of any deals out there.

CTD have still got hardie on offer, £7.99 + vat I think mate. Might even be £6.99 +.

 

[Jeff the tiler]

Thanks Bri

I'm sure it was £5.99 + vat (£7.18) or at least that's what I've been getting Topps to match it at lol

Topps tiles 12.35 a board

NMP ( no more Ply ) at Tiletown , not sure of the latest price but was very good last time I enquired.

 

[Spud]

builder depot £7.81 a board plus vat

 

[Rookery]

I believe CTD are £6.99 + vat for 6mm and £7.99 + vat for 12mm. My nearest Topps couldnt/wouldnt get anywhere near that so its CTD all the way for me. They have great deals on a few other products too. Topps dont deserve traders business IMO.

Noticed on the receipt you paid £15+ for a tub of bal grip. Cheaper going to CTD & purchasing a 20kg of Weber. You would almost get 2 bags for that price.

CTD do Bal Whitestar at about £11+ too, not sure what the difference is between Grip and Whitestar though?, Tradepoint and Topps both about £13+ on Hardie 12mm boards, CTD definitely the cheapest by far.....

I hear what your saying but -

Additional fuel to & from CTD - £4 - £5
Bucket for mixing - £1
Time to & from van for mixer
Time to clean mixer
Time to clean bucket after mix
Pot life
Etc etc

Grip is so much easier when throwing up ceramics

It's pretty much the same product but not as white as White Star. I find grip has a stronger bond

Knock it up with your bucket trowel you big girl

Lol. Like I'm daft enough to try & knock up 20kg with bucket trowel. Knocking up smaller amounts is ever more time consuming. Don't get me wrong, I'll do this when I have to but for jobs like this, grip is just so much easier. Each to there own though

That receipt is for my current job. Was hoping to have it finished today but just not enough hours in a day. Going back on Sunday to do silicone, caulking, hang & gloss a new door, fit & gloss R2A Facing, gloss window, shower screen, some accessories & general buffing & cleaning.

It looked like this last week lol
