Sand & priming anhydrite screed

[nod]

If it’s a flo screed We are tiling within days In the summer months

So Gyvlon is specifically listed as a Flow Screed.

 

@nodThat means i can arrange a tiler i think. Screed has been down for a month and has been cleared of Laitence. 

 

Thats if i can find someone that does not wear a mask and carry a flintlock. As per another post elsewhere here, my laughable quote @ £3200 ( not including the tiles) for 28  square metres works out at £114/ metre. For 600 x 900 tiles thats £60 a tile. 

 

Yes of course i will be accepting his quote

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

I imagine the RHI would still be above 75% after a few days regardless of any drying strategy. @nodhave i understood you correctly

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
