Much more fun mate!
Give me this kind of work anytime.
All mats supplied and using tubbed addy made such a nice change.
Still took me a week though
This place was huge: wetroom and ensuite downstairs. bathroom and ensuite upstairs and loads of floor tiling downstairs. I really tryed to get some tips from the pro tilers there cos they were working so fast.
From looking at their work the key to speed was:
1 Don't waste time setting out
2 Don't waste time with a rubbing block on cut edges
3 Don't worry about having cut edges next to field tiles
4 If having a border, let the doorway interupt it so when it's 1cm out you won't notice it as much
5 Don't waste time getting trim cut to exactly the right length and you can save another 20 mins by not getting the tiles to sit flush with trim
6 Let someone else polish the grout haze off, at least it hides the grout job for a bit
7 Chipped tiles are fine to put on the wall if you can't be bothered to go get a new box
etc..etc..
Thing is these guys are making the same money (well more 'cos they're getting twice as many tiles down as me) so who's the real mug?
