Tiling a floor

[chrisbyrd]

Hi All

Should tiling the kitchen floor be within the abilities of my 'moderate' DIY skills or is it best left to somebody who knows what they're doing?

I've never actually done any tiling before but I'm quite tempted to have a go at doing the kitchen floor

Is it more tricky than I envisage it being or should I be able to cope with it if I take my time?

Yes it should, it’s not difficult.

I don’t know what you envisage it being like but as I said, it’s not difficult – give it a go. Just remember to report back with your results and remember, there’s plenty of information on this site if you search for it.
