finishing off top row of tiles / ceiling

[pr1970]

Hi All

Just finished tiling my bathroom and have started grouting. Just wondered what the best way of finishing off where the top of the wall tile meets the ceiling. I`ve left a 2mm gap up there.
Should I put flexible grout in there or use some sealant ?

Thanks

I use decorators caulk, you can get it from any diy shops and it is a flexible sealent.

Would it be okay to use silicon instead?

I normally use silicone.

I'm a lazy bugger too!

Unless it's a new build bendy cardboard house, then I caulk.

Only use silicone if the ceiling has had its final coat of paint, otherwise paint won't stick.

I never use silicone, only caulk so if a customer decides to change the celing colour down the line or whatever then it's not going to be a problem for them.

I went for silicone because wasnt sure if the ceiling joists would flex (its upstairs) and the roof gets very hot in summer. (Well not this summer).
