    Raised floor tiling methods

    Hi! I have a beauty salon opening in a couple weeks. I hired the same builder to do floors, ceilings, walls, plumbing, carpentry, demolition, etc. and have a question about the quality of their work. The builder was hired to build two separate raised platforms on the main floor to support raised benches and work areas for pedicure services. The agreement was to use the same faux-marble ceramic tiling as the floor itself so that it’s just essentially a raised step. We did not discuss the builders use of metal tile trim along the edges of the raised platforms—sort of to cap the corners of the ceramic. I’m concerned this is clearly cutting corners and it is not aesthetically favourable. Considering there was no discussion regarding the use of trim, can I insist he redo it? This is for a £20K+ full shop fitting renovation after all. Also, his tile work is rather sloppy and there are significant chips along the cut lines too. Much thanks for any insight!

    Labour cost query

    Hi. I will be moving into a new house. The kitchen is tiled already but I would like to tile the living room floor approximately 16m squared. If I was to purchase the materials myself how much would I be looking at for a tradesperson in labour to install? The floor at the moment is concrete and screed so I imagine the floor is ready to be tiled

    best bathroom tiles for durability and cleaning

    I’d like to have new tiles fitted to my bathroom. What are the best types/materials I should go for when looking for durability? Our previous bathroom tiles developed a lot of problems over the years and we’re looking to replace them as they seem beyond repair at this point. We’d like tiles that are easy to maintain/clean and that are durable. What would you recommend?
