Approximately 70 per cent of the domestic stone industry is made up of ceramic, porcelain and terrazzo fitters who have moved into the market thinking stone can be installed in the same way. And there is a very high chance that installers who are not trained in laying stone are going to end up with failures.

A very brave statement but so very very true and about time someone said it as its all going to sh*t and no one will wake up to it. The stone industry is making millions how much grout remover do they sell because tile fixers think they are stone fixers.
Brickeys dont build stone walls and plasterers dont dont artex but hey ho tilers can fix stone............doesnt make sense.
If you are a stone fixer then top marks to you for learning your trade, if you are a
tiler then stick to your trade or get taught. I know there is a shortage of stone fixers and the money is attractive but just reading the forum you can see the money has to be earned.
Imo.........
