Near folkestone in Kent.. what is a CTD?

Ceramic tile distributers.

Yes I have been to those. Is £45m2 a fair price? Can I get them direct?

Can't say offhand, however, with that sort of quantity, you are in a good bargaining position.

If our looking for a decent blade try forum sponser @ATSDiamondTools.
I would shop around and maybe try small family run tile shop s they will likely be able to offer good discount on an order that size, if not try CTD as @timeless john mentioned and then oh can get points/vouchers back on purchase of tiles which could pay for the materials.

Hi Adey C.T.D is a mainly a trade referred business, the points you mention are for trade only.The voucher scheme is were a tiler gives a customer 20% of his discount
and he keeps the rest.

Thanks for your responses...any other advice on score and snap cutters?

The new Rubi TZ is a great cutter, see if you can hire one, a grinder with a good
porcelain blade for your L cuts but 800x800 is not something for an amateur.
As you have a wet saw already why not just use that.

That rubi tz looks perfect. The wet cutter I have will take much longer but will do the job.
I know these 80x80s will be a challenge but I have done 50x50 for someone before in a big kitchen.
This is my home so I hope without the pressure of having to earn a decent price out of it I can take my time etc
I am going to use one of these wedge levelling knock off systems if anyone could recommend one?

Have a look at Raimondi RLS levelling system, used this system recently, (first time using a levelling system). Had no issues with it, simple to use , once you got a handle on the wedge tension.

Oh, and the clips snapped off nicely.
