Wall and floor tiler in the West Midlands, Dudley, Stourbridge. www.nptiling.co.uk


get a labourer , that keeps your hands dry





Use the washboy, you can then keep your hands out of the water

naturally water is freezing at this time a year,make it the same temp as per cold in the summer months



Get yourself a nice pair of pink marigolds![]()
I'll only use latex gloves if I'm using 2 part. Hands were frozen today doing a kitchen floor in uncalibrated slate with the back door open. No heating in the property & not got the 3ie stat on yet. Don't want adhesive drying too quickly so just had to grin & bare it with the occasional hands under the hot tap


I got 6 small bathrooms and 6 kitchen splashbacks to grout tomorrow. My hands are getting cold thinking about it

I use nowt, when you spent the winter months of your youth ferreting on top of Shap Fell you kinda get immune to it![]()
Being a smoker, I've poor circulation in my hands so normally just crack on with the tiling. If you keep washing your hands in hot water, your hands end up even colder when you leave it.

Tesco value marigold gloves (yellow not Pink) 49p for 2 pairs
Ps. Other Supermarkets are available.
