just want to share what i witnessed last week,i was working up in london ,well croyden,tiling the toilets in the new lidles,the floor area of the main shop 900m2 was already done apart from 145m2,all laid i was told in a week sand and cement,well i couldnt believe it,but at 12,0 clock 6 polish guys and 1 german guy turned up,2 started mixing the screed then one started shifting the pump around whilst one guy started screeding,freehand working to a datum line around perimeter wall,no spots or anything,anyway the others were shifting the tiles in,when the guy had done about half screed, one guy dropped back and threw dryers onto screed ,and then wet it with a watering can,then 2 more continued laying the tiles, when they got about 50 m2 down someone else dropped back onto it and vibrated it with a little machine with plastic rollers (they were all wearing screed shoes to walk on tiles)then behind him, one grouted with huge floor squeegie,then another behind him washing off,,when the screeding had been done those guys dropped onto the tiling too,and also set in 2 manholes,which were tiled,when the grout was dry they used sawdust and polished it up,and this was all done by 5 o clock, i was amazed,they then went and laid 200m2 of dietra,with mapei p4,mixed really wet,and finished about half 7 that night,the next day they laid most of this about 170m2 stick down ,and including about 3 manholes,and grouted most,then last day finished off ,fantastic and bloody flat too.and i was pleased with our 30m2 a day on the walls!!!! not grouted......credit to these guys,also they are welcome to it my knees wouldnt hold out.
