I'm laying floor tiles and the corner of one is on the corner where a waste pipe is. Should I cut around the waste pipe or is it okay to just cut a square off the corner? I can't really actually cut all the way round any-way as there would just be a little 1cm sliver on the left hand side. Also...

Hi, I have been "googling" this for hours and am making no progress so any help appreciated! I laid some Parafeuille tiles (basically just teracotta tiles) about 5 years ago in our hallway and kitchen. When they were laid I sealed them with linseed oil and white spirit to stop any salts coming...

Hi all So I live in a 1920s house which has me and my boyfriend are currently attacking room by room, the room we're working on is the kitchen. Being bank holiday seemed a good idea to start ripping everything out, until on day two I thought to myself 'I wonder if that's asbestos?' and have...

My15 yr old bathroom has 5 tiles cracked in two lines over the feed pipes to a radiator and the washbasin. I believe they are probably laid direct onto flooring board given that the en-suite which has had to be refurb'ed for other reasons was. I don't want to strip out the whole room on cost...
