I never have. No tiles fallen off.........yet. I do tank all the wet and splash zones so I sleep at night.

I've only ever TnF'd commercial jobs / offices where one of these pays for itself in one day. Need to hire an industrial vacuum though. Makes sanding almost pleasurable.

Fackin TINY. ?

The only thing your guy will benefit from is you cleaning out his buckets which will save you his labourering / costs . Stand down on everything else .

I can't say much TBH, as I have received a proper education whilst residing with you lot . One of my mates rang me one day and said "I've had a job for a house with UFH. How much smaller should I make all the radiators?"? How we laughed.

Hang on chief.....we ARE talking about you using a PLASTERER, to lay gypsum skim coat over the whole of the walls yea? If so, that nifty tape will be going back for refund and you'll be fitting these beads.

The litres per min flow rate of UFH is around 3-5 litres per minute average, so that kink will not really hold things back imo. Can you get to it to just pinch it back to round like above? As far as failing a pressure test, not a chance. That stuff is extremely robust and only gets punctured by dicks with drills, a little kink like that, whilst not being great news, is of little consequence. As far as pressure, it'll only ever see 1.5bar in it's normal working day so don't ? the bed quite yet . We walk all over this stuff, push wheelbarrows full of screed over, and I've never, once, had it fail. Long and short......you'll live.

Yes, it is still just MDF at the end of the day, but as far as the external angles etc go, they'll both damage easily, just oak would have to be colour match filled etc whereas white just wants touching up. Its a renter at the end of the day so +1 to Ed, white everything and oak / veneered doors for the look.

You don't do any filling for the spread . Leave him prep for himself as it needs doing properly ( as in no high filling / build which will cause him issues ). He won't skim over board tape, it'll be scrim tape, and only minutes to apply for a proper spread.

The real wood veneered MDF is quite good TBH. Can be finished however you like.

@Alphonsox That's a lot of space heating from a simple 3kw immersion heater! You must have a proper smug grin with that result. . For the benefit of the thread could you elaborate on the 'slave' unit a little please ? Congrats on moving in, and one assumes things will only get better when the heat recovery ( MVHR ) fires up .

Hi and welcome. +1 to the above, and ask away .

Make me a half dozen 8x4' prototypes and I'll arrange to collect them and be your guineu pig. . The least I can do for a mate

Crikey. Great resource . Need a day off to digest that lot though. .

You've already used our 2017 quota !

Personally I'd not want such big 'grout' lines, if it were me. I have major doubts about the cut edges being comfortable under bare feet, even socks, as if their anything like the brick you'll have sharp jagged edges which often are proud of the finished main surface. . Laying should be easy, albeit time consuming as it's herringbone, but not rocket science .

Thanks for wrapping the thread up . Not too bad an outcome, bar the 500 bucks

+ 1000. May not be as expensive as you think either. The older cables are a nightmare. If moved or struck then you'll get an even bigger bill. Remember you can do the contestable work yourself .

I'd try word of mouth first tbh as if you put a help sign up and they realise your stuck your likely to get hammered.

Yup. Ian, I don't use mine so you can keep it until your done with it if you don't want to buy one. Edit : the one peter posted may be cheap enough to get the expenses past Westminster.

Same tiler ?

They could be sealed successfully. . I'd suggest a matt finish.

Oh, also are you a million % sure your wind and vibration free at the laser, as even a guff will cause the laser dot to oscillate and be undetectable.
