KItchen splashback

[Steeldawn]

Hiya all

I have just moved into a new flat and the GF wants to tile the Kitchen splashback. I tiled my bathroom and kitchen in my last flat and it looked ok. However I was winging it . I got a video from Topps showing how it was done, they tiled a bathroom in the video. They used an edging mount for around the bath, window etc(I didnt know these existed !).

My area to be tiled is approx 2.5m x 0.5m. I have a load of brick type tile and have all the kit/tools etc.

My questions:

1. Where do I start? Middle or one end?

2. Do I need this edging or can I just take a line from just above the worktop and work up cutting the tiles where they meet the kitchen cupboards.

Thanks in advance.

Question 2
Dunno what you're going on about - edging? If your worktop is level I'd start tiling from there; obviously see what the size of the tile will be of the top tile under the cupboard. If the top tile works out too thin then I'd look at cutting the base tile down a bit.
