But a solid base of cement where the tiles are being layed is not going to move??If a roof underneath did cave away which it will not as it been like that for a year the cement would still be in place.

thanks nelly some postive people on here,at last.

You tell me why its not the right adhesive?It is the right adhesive i dont need flexable,thats only needed when there is movement under tiles as mentioned before its on cement base and i even asked topps and explained and ws told the rapidset is all i needed.

But that would not be bal adhesive bags as they cost 25 a bag,unless your getting them at trade price? I only got bal as i think here or another forum i was told its what to get now i wished i had used cheaper stuff,as im sure they are pretty much all the same. As for the trowel,i said to him...

well i measured the distance and i am getting about 4/5mm of a base i did notice that the first few he did lay was a little more,but since then has reduced the amount as i said this stuff should go further but average most are around 4/5mm. Even when he has slightly reduced the stuff to go...

My father yes is a builder but part time, its not his main job now but could build full time with the work he get offered. But as for the 4 square meters a bag its going nowhere near this and i would say 2 bags was doing about 3 square meters,so something is not right?He has done plenty of...

Its not flexible stuff im using its the bal rapidset adhesive,as for the ground uneven its pretty even and i cant see him putting too thick on and said if he puts any less down it will not be worth putting down. He seems only to be getting the same amount of tiles laid with same amount of bags...

I am wondering if anyone can tell me where online or well known stores where i can get bal rapidset adhesive for outdoors on cement,reason i ask is i have a job ongoing and,when i went to topps tiles i said i had around 19/20 square meters of area to do. He said i would need about four 20kg...

Finally purchased the stuff 4 20kg bags of bal rapidset costing just a few pence under £100 this stuff better be brillant at this price,they are almost as expensive as my tiles as i got my tiles at discontinued price,so end of day overall total price for stuff works out not bad,considering i...

Ok so i know i need the flexible stuff now as its going outside on a roof and maybe a little movement. Now i need to know the best places to maybe buy this from,as im sure topps maybe overpriced.I looked on there website anc could not see any but then maybe the dont have the range of stuff on...

Whats the difference between bal rapidset flexible and just bal rapidset?

Because companys in the tiles and adhesive business or makers need to make as much products as possible to keep in business and get more money out of people.there are always ways and hints and tip of things that can be done in diy etc and i am only here asking the questions so i can maybe not...

So what does that mean?Is the stuff used with cement ok or is ground force a programme that sorts problems.

I asked my father tonight again and he said maybe better get the proper stuff but when i told him the price per bag he said what a price,he was prety sure what he would use would do the trick but then when i mentioned about this forum he was not so sure. I dont know how he would mix the...

Well it was topps tiles i purchased my tiles from,are they bad?I could not find something i liked and was in there shop and found ones i did and as they where discontinued i got them for even less so was well happy,and it was them that said i needed this adhesive stuff. Now i need to know as...

So where can i buy this stuff online and high street in the biggest bags etc available i am laying about 22 square meters,i looked in srewfix but cant see if there is anything in there will do,im sure this shop sells at top price and im sure there are other places that would sell same stuff but...

Im not stating you dont know what your talking about as the shop also said this but i thought at £25 a bag and i need about 4 of them was a little too much just to lay tiles and my father said cement would do,we have not started the job yet and i am not to late to get the stuff but you know how...
