The travertine tiles are 457mm x 305mm and 12mm thick, I'm sure I've read that travertine onto dot and dabbed plasterboard will be ok.

Read it somewhere on the internet, but can't remember where, just had a look at the british gypsum website and they say you can so you are correct, thanks. The walls will be tiled floor to ceiling with travertine. Is it really neccessary to use moisture board for the ceiling when it's being...

About to board out bathroom with moisture resistant plasterboard so have a few questions. I have read that moisture resistant board is unsuitable for plastering so presume standard board with a plaster skim coat is ok for the ceiling. I planned to tank the shower cubicle and bath areas, is...

You are correct , I found out the same info today.

Was thinking of getting it checked out any idea how much do the BCO normally charge to inspect a small roof, the scaffoldings still up at the moment so would be easy.

just thought I'd update the doubters particually nosefekall that the builder was trying to rip me off and I found out the tiles were worth more than double what he said. They came back today to bodge up the valleys at which point I confronted them and asked for the reciept they reluctantly...

Not twaddle at all :roll: If we go back to the op I only wanted to know a rough price for reclaimed rosemarys as I thought you guys being in the trade would have an idea of the going rate of probably the most common roof tile used in England. I wanted to know the price because I paid for...

No I just give him the cash he asked for :roll: the trusting soul that I am. Probably should have asked for receipt.

Thankyou Alistair you are correct at last someone with some sense.

Please explain what you mean by undercloaking. Yes there are some small cuts that are loose and will fall out.

It's difficult to to tel by the picture will post more pics Monday before scaffolding comes down. I thought that about membrane doesn't look very good does it will ask him to come back and sort it. I thought about using leadmate sealant but suspect it would take quite a few tubes to fill the gap.

I didn't say I bought them all can you not read you you you builder :lol:

What would you say if I told you I gave him an interim payment to buy materials as he had a cash flow problem oh yes I'm very dodgy :roll:. There was no need to tell you the exact circumstances as all I wanted to know was how much the fricking tiles should be.

That wasn't the case in this circumstance he admited he had miscalculated as I informed him there are 60 rosemarys to a sqm and not 80. Not my fault he's no good at maths. You are very wrong about your last statement as well I actually went out and bought materials for him. :roll:

It is you that is a tool, did I become abusive first no I didn't. You know know nothing of the circumstances surrounding this job and the basis the price was agreed if you did you would understand. Are you a builder by any chance. :roll: I know most builders are dodgy people generally but I...

You really don't know what your talking about do you, in your eyes it's ok to charge customers for materials you don't use what a load of rubbish. The estimate is worked out on the basis that a certain quantity of materials is needed to complete the job if the materials can be returned for a...

Here'e the pictures should I ask him to turn up the edges or will it be ok.

Yes all materials included in estimate, anyway he's taken them back but dont know how much he got yet. I think he should refund me the price he quoted on his estimate because that is what he charged me, its not my fault he over estimated by so much.

Will post pic tommorrow when I get home from work.
