Tiling behind an aga cooker

[WCT Stu]

A bit of advice please. I have a job to tile onto fire board behind a fitted aga cooker. Is there an easy way to lay the tiles down the back (aga is about 5 inches out from the wall) as the top tiles will need to be level with the fire board, or is it a case of tiling as far down as you can reach. Many thanks

Hi Stu.

What fire board is it plz..?

[WCT Stu]

Not to sure as it is covered in wallpaper at the moment. People have just moved into the house.

[Dave]

Ok.. how do you know it is fire board then.

[WCT Stu]

It has a lip where it is fitted on to the wall and my father who is a builder remembers the house being done with fireboard (doesn't know type) when the aga was fitted

[Dave]

I was just pulling ya leg..


Is it fiberous or more cementious..?

[WCT Stu]

fiberous

[Dave]

ooo well it might not be suitable to tile too.. as in fiberous base can absorb heat no probs but not much cop with moisture, so please do check compatibility

[WCT Stu]

Will do. Many thanks
