yes where it asnt been done before by the kitchen fitter, i am very lucky in that the majority of people i work for are all very proffesional and they actually think about the next man on the job. another reason i always leave space to fit the grout apart from it having some where to go, is that...

the reason the ceiling is at different levels is because i done about 5 bathroom ceilings in one month and there were some off cuts that were left and were to small for any more ceilings(less than 1.7m) so to utilise the waste instead of just putting them in the skip or bin i made a feature of...

any rough idea what you are looking for in your bathroom, might have some completed job pics or some one else may have some completed work pics.

i personally dont like to see silicon around kitchen worktops, mainly because its hard to find a coloured silicon that will go with the worktops. i do offer both options to the customer though and leave the executive decision to them at the end of the day. i think that seeing silicon around the...

i like to leave the same gap around by the skirting board, usually about 2mm as you want some where for the grout to grip and adhere to. bit like grouting kitchens on top of the work top. a lot of folk sit the tiles directly onto the worktop allowing the grout no where to stick to, thus falling...

like said you should only be grouting 1/2, 1 m2 at a time anyway. half an hour is plentyfull for a competent person. if you think that time scale is bad you should try and use flexible grouts on floors etc, you get about 5mins to sponge off, maybe not even that. often enough its grout and sponge...

they are dry verge tile.

yes my house is to the right hand side, front of house faces a road so the garage is round the back.

moved into my new house 12 months ago and decided to change a few things. the garage was just to small and impractable. i will also include other things i have done in the house so far. all work is my own work. hard to find time when you work full time. approx cost to do garage was £2500. few...

looks like the work is done to a high standard, not to sure on the position of the shower pipe where it comes out of the wall. just looks out of place. plus i am not to keen on wall wounted taps sticking into the showering area, i assume there is a reason why you havent put any water fittings...

but costs the op a lot more money and as a tiler in these recession time if it takes you a couple of hours more to allow for unevenness then so be it, like i said who would be a fool loose say a £600/£800 for a couple of extra hours.

im sick of hearing about the floor being level, if we were all as fussy to work just on totally level surfaces we would all be out of work and not earn a single penny. i once tiled a indoor car showroom floor 200m2 and i had to use 25x 20kg of self levelling to get the floor some where near...

they will want treated with some kind of impregnator first to protect them,(staining etc) then when down you can use a colour enhancer the more coats you apply the deeper colour it will give them. if you want them polished then that is a different ball game, maybe contact the local monumental...
