Your tiling skills are better than most professional tilers/bathroom fitters 👏👏👌

Watching this video has confirmed that I will not be tiling my own floor. You made this very clear and straightforward—however, your skillset is not mine. Much respect for the level of detail involved with this work. I will happily pay a professional for my project. Many thanks! Cheers:)

Since taking on a 400 year old welsh farmhouse, there are a about 3 YT professionals who always deliver and you're at the top. Thanks for all your hard work, it is very much appreciated.

Cracking job and video 👍 my 5 year old watched it from start to finish with me without changing it to Ben and Holly...you have a gift 😂😂😂👍

It was worth watching just for the dry humping of the tile cutter. Some good tips Jimmy. Have a good weekend.

As a retired htg eng, just watched this programme for entertainment, 1st class, learned bundles, tiling for me always a pain, in my own house I always recess radiator tails in wall, saves cutting floor covering materials tiles, carpet etc, no obstructions for skirting installation, vacuum, mops etc, I’m now hooked on your series, as a heating engineer, i am only a handyman Plumber, an aspect I have trouble explaining to folk, look forward to more.

Solid video and great result. 20:24 got me… even my missus was laughing

I was always told that you should only scribe once to keep the cut perfectly straight. Admittedly I was training with an expert professional tiler though. It would normally be at huge mansions or hotel lobbies etc. You could barely see which was the cut edge. The wet blade and snap cutter he always used were made by Rubi which are pretty expensive. Since then I’ve tiled many kitchens and bathrooms and this video is pretty much the way I do it. Harder than it looks and correct adhesive for subfloor is vital. Great video as always.

Not tiling anything but couldn’t stop watching! Beautiful job James!

Thanks. A good watch. If I may just stick my two penneth in then screwing a batten to the floor where your laser line is helps a lot as you can then just butt the tiles up to the batten without fear of them "crossing the line". Even though we all love to cross the line at times😬

You're such an amazing guy, don't take people seriously if they say otherwise! Great

[llamedosr]

I use a piece of ply with a hole in it for cutting holes in tile. Works well

[YS]

Bro, I have been watching you for about 2 years now. Thanks for the inspiration.

[DC-sfrk]

I always line tile plus adhesive bed and mark the architraves. Multi tool the bottom of the architrave off. No fiddly cuts.

[alexwhyte]
