    Default Adhesive and grout recommendations

    Afternoon all,

    Wondered if you could recommend adhesive and grout for general wall and floor applications. In the past I've always used ready mix of one brand or another from the DIY sheds but you live and learn and I'm sure there must be better.

    Thanks, Simon

    yup stay away from ready mix, unless say it was a small splashback. Mapei are our sponsors and would be my choice but Bal and Ardex are also used by our members.
