    Default Floor tiles not taken??

    Hi all

    I have just completed a bathroom all 4 walls and the floor tiled.

    I had to remove old tiles at the bath, plaster came awat with them so borded out that wall and the wall behind the toilet. Also had to scrape the old artex. Eventually got it all ready for the tiles, no worries though as had to wait on the tiles coming in. Then started on the floor, for this I had Tops rapid set flexi. Mixed it up and lay'd the tiles and left it for 3 hours as stated on the bag. Then went in to grout it and by the time I had done that the tiles were all moving I went in to tops and explained what I had done and what happened, they said it sound like a bad bag of adhesive so gave me a bag of ball rapid set flexi and a new bag of grout

    I relay'd the floor tiles again today left them for 5 hours this time and all was good, went back at 7pm to grout and refit the toilet. All good with no movement.

    Also had to scrape the old artex.

    be careful, the old stuff contains small amounts of aspestos
