    tiling

    I'll agree with Oilman. A professional should take approx. 1hr per sqm to tile then 15min per sqm to grout up. Working on an hourly rate of £20?? you can get a rough cost?

    Tiling on Uneven Surfaces

    I tend to use a generous amount of adhesive to pack 'em even. It works if your careful and use a straight edge over them as you go. Be prepared to take a few off to readjust.
