I've got numerous wooden door casings to cut around, ready for tiling. I've seen people using in the past a type of angle grinder with a blade attatchment but I do not no what these are called or where I am able to purchase one. Any suggestions please?

wooden door casings????you mean door standards?......wot you doing exactly?.....anyhow b+q it.
You are probably referring to a diamond blade fitted to (usually, a 115mm) angle grinder. You need a continuous rim blade, and will have to pay good money to get a good one.
If you don't have a small angle grinder but you have a jigsaw, you can get tile cutting blades for jigsaws that work well for cutting ceramic tiles.
Alternatively, you can cut the bottoms off the architraves using a Fein Multimaster or an equivalent tool. Some people, though, regard this as a less than ideal approach.

yer Cheers its one of these fein multimaster tools i've seen in the past although is there a cheaper alternative
The cheaper alternative is the Bosch PMF180, much discussed in the Tools and Materials section (qv).
I've not used one, but it's probably perfectly OK for DIY use.
I do use the Bosch blades, however, because the price of the Fein blades is iniquitous.

If you want a blade for an angle grinder, then this baby is what you want - don't expect a fine finish though. http://www.axminster.co.uk/group_id//prodpage/2/product-Arbortech-Tuff-Cut-Blade-23535.htm
