What a legend, really well explained. Thank you Craig

[ewelinaminda]

Great tip lying the tiles on the kitchen worktop first to see what the end of the wall is going to look like. Thank you

[philengland]

Cheers Craig. Although watching this has sent us down a Big Brother 1st series rabbit hole. Can't believe it's been 18 years since you won it!

What a kind man he is to help ! Highly beneficial .Thanks a lot.

[Xofttam]

Second course will always be the same as the first one though? So why check it again if you are doing a brick work effect

[wetherhills]

I met the craig in Faslane naval base about 15 years ago and he is literally about 5 foot tall, suprised me. Top guy.

[doityourself]

Your awesome bro absolute hero for that video so detailed... well done

[gixxer]

Is this the Big Brother Craig that was with 'Nasty Nick' and pencil gate?!

[FritzKraut]

Thank you Craig. That helped me to help friends of mine.

[katielane]

That was so helpful.... he is such a likeable guy!

Great video. What are your views on tiling an uneven work surface? Some recommend to fix a temporary batten to the wall in place of the first row of tiles, to ensure the level is 100% level all the way round, then come back and do the first row, trimming off the top if required.
Others however just say to start from the bottom row as the human eye won’t work out if it’s slightly wonky once done. Thanks

Did Craig remove the spacers prior to grouting or grout over them? Doing my first ever tiling job in our wc soon and videos like this give me more confidence in doing so

[johnsmyth]

What's the best way of grouting bevel edge tiles? Rubber squeegee, foam pad or something else? Normal tiles I'm ok with but bevel edges are a new one on me!

[Lemon-squeezer]

Great video would you use the same type of set up if you was tiling in a non brick bond style fashion in terms of laying out where the tiles should go etc and what the cuts would be at the ends

[dogsent]

nice to see avid let the craig out of the toilet so he could do tiling videos!😀

[evieemaya]

Great video Craig. Should you do one level tile coarse at a time, working it across into the next wall or do you fill the walls in one wall at a time?

[allenr]

What size spacers are generally used for backsplash 1/16th or 1/8th in the kitchen. Thanks Mate...

[patriciagriffiths]

Hello Craig just a quick question. We are having our shower puting in and the tiles I want are small mosaic ones. About 3 X 2. But the tiler seems unsure how to tile them.
I've heard that they are not suitable about this. Would appreciate your answer..
Thanking you.

I'm tiling a splash back but then a piece a blank wall. I get and like the splash back method but how to I tile down to the floor when i get to he end of the work surface?

[antonygilbey]
