What other tiling jobs would you like to see in the future?

Tiling tomorrow for the first time in forever, first time completely on my own too… this video has already saved me so many mistakes! 🙌🏻

[freddieleethompson]

I do a lot of tiling on my renovation projects for clients yet I still watched your video. I guess I just like watching someone else work for a change 😂 Top job.

[awilkinson]

As a keen diyer, working in facilities engineering. I must say your attention to detail and finish is excellent. Keep up the good work, videos are invaluable to anyone who needs advice on there first attempts, or to improve on their own skills

You make this look easy. I tiled my kitchen floor without the levelling system, I didn't do a bad job but there are definitely high and low spots so if I dare do it again I would definitely invest in that. Watching this full series as generally interested, your videos are from a UK perspective and there's no bullshit or time wasting in them.

Found your channel yesterday, done quite a bit of tiling over the years but your bathroom renovation and tiling videos are top notch. Lots of useful tips and info, making my upcoming bathroom install less daunting

[yourmasterrenovator]

This is an amazing demonstration! in the shortest possible video you managed to include all the necessary steps. Very well done. 👍👏

[seanthepowerdavies]

I'm currently doing my bathroom by myself and help from mates and the diy guy. I can't tell you how much I am appreciative mate, nice 1

[WolvesValleyFarm]

I am so so happy I found this before attempting to tile the entire ground floor of my house. So much valuable information!

[davejohnston]

Great guidance. Levelling spacers are a revelation to me.

[sevenodonata]

You really demonstrated the importance of a dry fit for aesthetics. Nothing worse than slivers of tiles in the corners! 👍

[OwainGlyndwr]

As a retired painter and decorator with 50 years experience I also tiled floors and laid laminate flooring.
I enjoy watching your videos.
If I can give you and anyone else watching this video some advice, please wear knee pads. I didn't, and now I'm paying the price as i need knee replacements. Everyone please wear knee pads.

I've been a glass blower for 25yrs & I'm due to be made redundant in July2025. Plan to retrain as a handyman, your videos provide amazing content. Thank you so much for all your hard work. Unfortunately you make it look so easy😢😊

[jerrygould]

probably the best diy advice, real, accurate, no bs selling garbage. well done

[antonyporter]

would have never thought about the water ! cheers

[fortza]

This is exactly the right way to apply tile adhesive, in one and the same direction - so you don't get a hollow sound or air under your tiles either. Too many YTs just throw it on the floor and smooth it out in all directions, they might find out in the long run that it can cause problems! Love your videoes by the way.

[Participant]

Excellent video, better than most pro vids I've watched.

If I may add a few points?

- Measure the water:grout ratio (or stick to the manufacturer's guidelines) that you used in case you need to add / replace any in future, then it will be a colour match and not look slightly different to the original.

- Don't use shiny glossy floor tiles in a bathroom, as they're lethal when wet.

- When wiping the grout, keep at 45 degrees to the grout line where possible, then you won't wipe any out of the joint.

[rodgerq]

Good job mate, well explained and executed! One thing i woukd add for thr average diyer is to use a slow set adhesive. The last thing you want is to be rushing to try and lay the batch before it sets in the bucket. Ask me how i know 😅

[jackelley]

Great tip about the water you can get away with normal water on whites and beiges but never with greys! End up light grey and dark grey! Great videos as always!

[TheKing-tlsi]
