Laser levels are not my thing to be honest mate. If you do a search on the forums for 'laser level' you should find a couple of threads with a mention or two in.

cheers for that mate.

I'm pretty new to the trade and just wondered if anyone had any little tips that can help with getting quicker. Any little thing at all like tips on removing old tiles or tips on marking up etc?

I find that little tips from the vastly experienced guys help.

Just for example someone mentioned that a good way of getting wall adhesive off is to use a steamer.......

Cheers

hi paul. i used to use ply method on timber floors but for past year or so have been using ditra mat by schluter it is easy to lay and is excellent for bathrooms with there high humidity , and no problems with water ingression through grout joints causing any sub-floors to swell with moisture, give it a go you'll never use nowt else.GOOD LUCK MATE. p.s.
SCHLUTER have an installation manual you can down load
