Nearly all the sites and houses that we tile haven’t got a bio or ASHP in place at the time of tiling While I’m not a heating engineer the temperatures are so low that it never effects the floor coverings Weve just finished a 5 million pound house 700 m2 of floor tiles indoor swimming pool The HP is set to be commissioned in October and that’s on a traditional screed I commissioned the heating on both our builds {traditional screed ) Simply because I could The reality is that on most commercial or Grand designs The heating is rarely commissioned You are paying extra money Around a third for Flo Simply for convenience Prime tile

Let him board one side of the studs and ask him to bugger off downstairs while you fit the insulation A few staples will hold it in place till he gets the second side on

I can only go from experience I tile dozens of these floors each year without any Matt The floor matting has only become popular over the last 20 years It was once the norm to screed in the morning and tile in the afternoon

Scrape any loose material off the top Prime with SBR 12 hours before if possible No need for matting

We don’t test for moisture We get a date to start tiling The flow screed is more expensive But the drying time is the main selling point While I’ve seen a few go wrong I’ve never had tiles come up Or cracking

300-400 k

While it’s not my thing I’ve used this on plenty of other people’s jobs It’s Jus as waterproof as tiles We normally do a few sample boards for the colour Most go for concrete look But there are plenty of shades and depth of texture Be sure that you get someone that is experienced and not just learning on your job Like tiles Make sure you are going to be happy with it as it can’t be skimmed over if your not

What size is you bungalow

Unfortunately any reputable builder will want at least a structural drawing and won’t want to do detailed costings for something you may do in the future

I’ve been using impey for nearly four years Probably around 100 bathrooms Its absolutely bombproof Straight on to moisture Plasterboard No need for cement board Or Aqua

The easiest way is to mark you lights on the floor and run a length of top hat either side Then add a 100 mil pattress in between the two top hats Board your ceiling Then transfer the lines from the floor and cut out If you must use res bar You can fix pattress in between but on to the joists If you don’t put timber in They will crack

If you look at the PV adds online None of them use cat ladders and walk all over the roof If it ain’t knackered now It will by the time there size tens have trampled all over it

EPDM isn’t as hard wearing as GRP I definitely would put anything on top of it I can’t remember who But a lady on here had had a slate land on a EPDM roof damaging it You could drop a car on a GRP roof

I did ours at our previous build I had absolutely no experience A friend who builds boats advised me and said if the bottom of a boat doesn’t leak A bit of rain won’t bother your roof

To be Fair The days of the leaky flat roofs of the 70s and 80s are long behind us Most are bombproof

You only really need a warranty for selling Or if your mortgage supplier insists In any case Windows doors flat roofs Wouldn’t be covered by a Structual warranty These companies hardly ever pay out Even NHBC won’t cover defective work

No you don’t BC sign off will satisfy a buyers solicitors The only thing that was picked up on our sale was the cil was still showing online While your BC won’t sign off without a EV point They won’t care about bat or bird boxes Or even a lighting report in our case

I think they are all much of a muchness We self installed Hormann roller door on our previous build Good quality No issues

We genuinely intended downsizing But it’s difficult to justify the land and associated costs on a smaller house While we have done quite well with the cost m2 It would have been impossible to do the same on a house that’s half the size

Seen worse

Our children went to longridge High Our first build was in Fulwood Across from the Grasshoppers rugby ground We are now In Woodplumbton Ten minutes away

Retired or cheap Expect to pay a high rate for a good brickie on day rate Better with a price

I run a tiling business and have to pay the tilers Keep them in work Prep all the quotes Wait up to eight weeks to get paid while paying the tilers weekly and sill charge less than what I’ve heard on here Of a tiler can lay 20 m2 on a big floor each day Then he’s doing something wrong But if he’s getting £40m2 A one man band will be happy with 400 for a day Las bank holiday I couldn’t get anyone other than a second year apprentice to work So I tiled a 130 m2 floor 1200x600 sat Sun and Monday with just the cuts around the stairs that I couldn’t finish At 63 my best days are behind me I was quite pleased with my efforts till the Apprentice said to one of the tilers that he wished he could work with me everyday As it was dead easy compared to working with them

Ask to see a couple of previous jobs There’s a massive difference in standards for tiling Lots of jobbers out there
