He's tiling onto properly prepared walls, so no farting about, what's the problem with doing 15-18 mts a day on walls like that. Gift in my book!

Just a question! When you talk about a days work are we saying a days proper graft no arsing about, tea breaks allowed but short and proper? Or are we talking a rather sort of lathargic stroll around the job with all the time in the world for a chat an all the brews you can get? Efficiency is what I'm getting at here!

I start at 8 get all tools ready for the day spend a time battening all round and marking my datum lines for my joints etc then I cut my tiles for the internal cuts thenmake my first Mix usually a full bag of rapid spread the whole wall and go for it back buttering as I go. At a bout 12 take a full hour and even have a kip then back on it till 4or5 then home for tea

And that, gentlemen is the key! Proper prep. Customers sometimes get stressed with the amount of prep i do on a job. But as I've always said; a good tilers job is 70% prep.

Some of us are tilers not bathroom fitters, I don't prep any walls.

I push to prep all mine. As above it makes tiling a dream when done yourself. Don't know how dry liners struggle with getting a wall flat and plumb round a window
