Unfinished , unhappy

[Teesside tiling]

I have just had to pass over a job I was doing for a friend because of other work commitments which I m a little unhappy about. My friend has told me that the other tilers asked why I hadn't started at the wall, well I know I m new to all this, so was I incorrect to cut in at all walls?

[grumpygrouter]

No you were spot on to cut into the walls. Walls are rarely plumb and starting at the corner could cause real problems.

[kilty55]

hi teeside,do you mean the other tiler is starting a full tile of a wall? instead of centring the wall

[mikethetile]

you were correct to have your cuts to the wall

[Dave]

A little more info on the lay out would help..

[nybor62]

can you be more specific not sure what you are on about, have you started the job

[Phil Hobson]

Hi mate, if you have centre'd each wall to give equal cuts as large as poss. Imo you are spot on, never start full tile from one wall

[Teesside tiling]

job was 10 sqm dining room floor with new partition wall which I knew was not true, and with a radiator with pipes into the floor to contend with and 600x600 tiles. I had laid all the tiles but couldn't get back to grout, left around half tile on two walls and approx450 on other walls

[mikethetile]

show your mate this thread and ask him to to advise his new tiler to register on tilers forum
