Many Thanks I phoned my fitter and he said medium gripper should be fine. So is felt back ok with this type of gripper then. I am sticking the gripper down ready for him so should be ok I think. Is 5mm the correct width from skirting? Chris

So I have nothing to worry about when the 6 tiles all broke into bits infront of me and I picked them up and put in a bin bag and I even got a dust pan and brush to sweap the whole room after and the area where the 6 tiles broke without thinking but the tiles did not seem brittle at...

Hi all, I have been removing some carpet today which was stuck down with double sided tape. On removing parts of the carpet about 6 brown floor tiles came away from the floor and then broke into small bits. I am now not sure if these tiles have Asbestos in but they are a solid brown with no...
