Hi,
Can't seem to find a solid answer as I realise so much depends on multiple factors.
I'm planning to tile my kitchen floor with 8mm porcelain floor tiles (660x440mm).
My kitchen floor is mostly wooden floorboards (house built in 1925), with a strip of concrete along the party wall from...
I am installing Hardie backerboard for a bathtub surround and plan to tile the tub surround with 12 x 12 ceramic tile.
1. The hardie backerboard is water resistant, not waterproof, so I was planning to waterproof it with Aqua Defense.
2. Installation instructions for Hardie backerboard say to...
Hi all,
Quick question, when installing 6mm backer board onto a floor prior to tiling, would you prefer plywood or chipboard underneath?
Also, do you use adhesive and screws to fix the backer board down, or just screws?
For reference, it would be 22mm thick either way, and if chipboard it...
Hi everyone,
I'm having the majority of the ground floor of my house tiled (35m²) and I'm not sure which way to go from a subfloor / prep perspective. Here is the current set-up:
Suspended timber floor at 450mm centres
Wet underfloor heating system between joists in a pug screed
Tiny bit of...

Hi guys, I would be very grateful for some advice about wether it is necessary to use acrylic primer on the walls in my cloakroom toilet wall. I ask because to me it looks grey like sand/cement mix? Its a 1955 council house. The walls aren't smooth like normal plaster elsewhere in the house...
I've had my floor tiles lifted in my ensuite as there was a leak in the toilet. It's a newbuild house so the builder is doing the work.
The floor tiling was done by my own contractor who used 6mm hardies backer board.
The builder hasn't stripped the adhesive or backer and I think he is...
Hi all,
DIYer here. I'll be fitting a new shower tray soon and boarding the walls with Marmox. My intention was to board the walls first then fit the tray, filling any small gap around the tray with a quality sealant (recommendations?). Once tiled, the tiles would overlap the tray, leaving a...
Hi,
I'm refurbishing my bathroom and looking to install underfloor heating under tiles for the floor. I have removed the old subfloor and planned to install 18mm plywood then 6mm jackoboard then Ditra Heat Duo mat with the loose lay cable before tiling. I have purchased all the materials but...
Please help - I put down plywood and tanked it with a Mapi tanking kit, I painted the liquid all over the floor. We then decided we'd put down a heat mat so we need to put down Marmox insulation tiles. I have the insulation all cut out and have started to screw it down - the screws (with large...

This is something I've had my eye on for a while, all the info in the link but it's a comprehensive wedi course at the cost of around £100 including an overnight stay, in Manchester. I thought I would put the feelers out to see if we could get a few people together to attend, later in the year...
