Even tho I've done abit of tiling i always watch A&E videos (GN tiling in this case) . Very informative and well presented. Well done chaps keep up the good work and thanks for the video
I'm so glad I found this channel. Recently started reading about tile adhesives and grout and reading the technical documentation regarding c1, c2, d1, d2 grades of adhesives and substrate suitability and strength, not to mention the sheer amount of grout products on the market - it is fantastic to see someone who takes such pride in their work and obviously understands their trade so well!
Great stuff Greg and A&E!
Much appreciated McCready 747 we are glad you find the videos informative all the best Tony 👍
Nothing better than a true professional executing his craft brilliantly. That curved scribe 👌
Hi Richard

Greg

Greg is a bit of a star
Hi Roger Greg is a awesome guy and true craftsman and it shines through he is a true inspiration to us all all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend
@@BuildWithAE what happened to his fingers.
@@SkillBuilder he broke his finger the weekend before and then had to strap it up so he could crack on, no rest for us self employed Guys.
It would be good to have a chat we have an idea I would like to run past you for next year if you have the time Roger all the best Tony 👍
Roger is like a shark, he can smell a drop of Elements board in the bathroom from 5 miles away.
as a bathroom fitter, the joy when the customer provides xl format tiles for a small area, is such a relief lol
Why do you say that? I have a small bathroom and would like a large format (60x60) but I've been told the heavy tiles will slip down the wall before drying...
Another genius on the team
Thanks Mark, have a great week 😎👍
That’s a good way to cut the curve….it’s true you learn something new everyday
2 things i noticed.should there be a 1mm spacer underneath the 1st row of tiles that sit on the shower tray so that the silicone can go in to the gap? and with the wall tiles gong past the sides of the tray,would it not look better to have a square chrome edging strip instead of seeing a raw edge of tile especially the bumpy ceramic white tiles?
Nice to see how its done in down under !
Your elite Greg I love your work😊
Nice to listen to someone who knows what they are talking about.
Amazing workmanship
Thank you for watching 😎👍
Looking fantastic! you made that look easy lol
Fantastic workmanship 😉
Thank you Paul, have an awesome week! 😎👍
Nice work. Dural matting with loose lay larva warm up cable is The way forward!
Just found your channel and I’m buzzing to see more 👍
Hi Chewbacca FU,

Hi, I’m laying 1500 x750 tiles 3 metres high ,big suckers.i have been tiling for 32 yrs in NZ.I am impressed with your work too.
Simply simply lovleh 👍👍👍
Thanks Barrington Smythe much appreciated all the best Tony 👍
No trolling pal, they are your lungs but I wear a mask when grinding tiles.
Great job
A good bit of Greg-action!
😎👍
Beautiful work Greg, you make it look so easy, but it certainly isn’t. 10/10 mate 👌🏼

Great content
Thanks John, have a great week 😎👍
Wow great job
Thanks Joe! 👍
Hi New to your Chanel loved the contents lot's of great information keep the videos coming.Thanks
Hi Nigel glad to have you on board, more content on it’s way all the best Tony 👍
Great vid, well explained, excellent work. I'd let you work on my house (Fellow tiler, 15yrs, commercial & high end domestic). Keep up the good work. 👍🏾👏🏾
Hi armoris66 thanks for your kind words have a awesome week all the best Tony 👍
Do you put a sealer on the tile grouting to stop it darkening when wetted ? The Grey's tend to blacken when wet ?
Fantastic video guys!! Such a pleasure to watch you guys work. Can I ask where you got the underfloor hearing from? I know you said the name but couldn’t hear it properly. Also can I ask what tile spacers you are using? Many thanks in advance!
Thanks Manish! Much appreciated. The underfloor heating matting is from Dural. Hope that helps, have a great week 😎👍
Great video and suggest your caution DIY installers how heavy these large format tiles are with thin set applied. The bottom first row does not seem so heavy but the second or third row is exhausting especially if you are lifting over your head.
brill job guys
so good see tidy trade always half the job. goes a long way with customers.
Thanks for watching Paul! 👍
Great video thanks, can I ask why you didn’t use the levelling kit on the main bathroom floor? Many thanks again, keep up the great work and vids to help us amateurs 😁👍
Lots of pro tilers don't need leveling clips on floors only walls
Beautiful job, great coverage on the large tile those A&E boys had the wall's spot on I'd say, got a link to the underfloor heating manufacturers?
Hi TJ, underfloor heating is from Dural. Hope this helps - have a great week 😎👍
Thanks for making such an informative video. Greg, you'd man!!! I"ll be Installing some 120x45 ceramics in the next few week so your tips were very timely. What make is your suction cup device and your tile levellers? Keep up the good work. Brilliant!
Many thanks for watching Darren! 🙌
Awesome work! What disc are you using in the grinder to cut the tiles please?
Most pros use porcelain blades that are no more than 1.2 mm thick
Lovely job Greg 👍🏻 those clips to stop the tiles stepping/lipping are the bee’s knees ,so am I right in thinking that they must have a fracture line built in? And can you get them for different grout thickness. 😁
Hi Mark,
You are correct in thinking about the fracture line. Once the adhesive has dried, the clips are tapped with a rubber mallet, and they simply snap off. The wedge can be reused and the remnants of the clip gets grouted over.
I believe the clips come in three different widths 1, 2 and 3mm.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
dudes a pro.
Thanks for watching! 👍
Fantastic work Greg but H&S would go mental you using that grinder with no cover 😬 stay safe!
Amazing work, I missed the name of the bit used in the angle grinder to Grind or Sand the pipe holes round, what was it called?,
Hi great video as always. Very informative. Which make of tile cutting disc do you use on your 4” grinder?
Glad you enjoyed the video.
I believe Greg uses Rubi discs for cutting.
I hope this helps.
All the best, John 👷🏻♂️
Love you work so informative. What tanking have you used on the elements board? Also with the rest of the walls did you plasterboard with a thinner board and then skim flush to the elements board? Appreciate all your help!!!
Hi Matthew,
Glad you enjoyed the video.
The tanking kit was supplied as a whole system with the elements board, so it's their recommended tape and glue.
Elements board comes in various different thicknesses; we went for 12mm to match the plasterboard, that way everything matches up nicely 😁
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
@@BuildWithAE it looks like the other walls have been skimmed. Did you sit the plasterboard back a couple of mm to skim to the elements board?
Hope that's a stone resin tray for that quadrant, seen underfloor heating cables ruin Acrylic trays when they're that close. Also Grout between resin trays and tiles and silicone between Acrylic and tiles? Not sure on your preference but I tend to find resin and tile has a similar stability where as Acrylic always gives more than tile wrecking the joint. Pucker job as always though, hope the finger slice during that second en suite wasn't too bad.
Hi Effer
The trays and internal corners will be siliconed after all trades are finished so hope this helps clear that up. Also I wish it was a finger slice I broke a finger in the second ensuite but it is what it is luckily I can trowel with both hands
All the best
Greg
With the floor tiling how are you able to walk on them while laying? Rapid set or come back to finish the next day?? Great job!! 👍🏻
They should have started from the back, most pros do
Nice job bud.... but i would always run a line of silicone around the shower tray and not grout. But like you say thats the way you do it. Very well explained video got a thumbs up from me all the best big man
Hi boots Mclaughlin. All the wet areas will be siliconed after with a colour match silicone.
This is one of the last things to be done thow after everyone is finished
Thanks for watching and have a good weekend 🤘
Thanks for watching Boots 😎👍
Great video and explanation, how tall are you , did you have to duck to go out of the master ensuite, or how low is the door frame 😀😄
Hi Build with A&E. what tape do you use to tank where the shower tray meets the wall? Is there a video on how you achieve this? thanks
Fantastic work. You have inspired me to give it a fo. Quick question what size of notched trowel are you using I'm installing a 600x300mm 10mm porcelain tile and am going to use a 10mm square notched trowel what would you recommend?
Expert tiler here I would not use a 10mm trowel it's too small go for 12mm or even 15mm is what we use, 40 years experience
Hi Greg, great job, are those grout clips to level the tiles on the walls easily available?
There from Canada, if you look Greg up on Instagram he has shown them being delivered and the links to buy your own.
Edit: Perfect Level Master is the brand.
loads of these types of levelling systems available from most tiles sheds....topps/tile giant etc...vital, especially for rectified egdes
Ace tiling, what are the red wedges for is it to avoid any lippage if you know what i mean. Make it look easy and I Know its not. Great work.
Some lovely lime plastering in there. Wheres the vid mate?! Really need some info on that! I wonder what paints the decorators will be using for breathability! Cheers for the vid lads! 🍻🍻
Hi Rob it’s on way all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE yeeeehaaaaa 👍👍👍
Great info but can you tell me what acrylic based primer you use and what is the make of suction cup, please.
So is scoring the paint good enough it's just I was always told to score the paint and get as much off as possible. Great videos
Um scoring the paint is not enough adhesive manufacturers recommend 80 percent removal
Hi great vid and given us ideas for our renovation. What were the underfloor heating products mentioned? Struggling to find similar online
Hi
Its from a company called Dural. Dm me and I can get some details for you no worries
Thanks
Greg
Great to hear it's given you some design inspirations Mike! Take care bud 😎👍
Dude can you tell me uf you are tiling a wall and floor, do you do the floor first. I see lots of people recommend this but I don't see why? Thanks in advance
Top job. Are the feeds coming out the wall for a specific shower, look a lot bigger than standard 15mm.
Hi John yes they are 22mm thread outlets to give the clients plenty of water, it’s the valve Connection on the showers all the best Tony 👍
@@BuildWithAE thanks for the reply. Keep up the good work
Hi Greg love your work, im a Handyman in essex just outside London, and a job has come up for me to tile a bathroom 600 x300mm porcelain tiles, i have to strip off old tiles, plasterboard etc, nightmare, i bet you have done a few of them in your time. But i need your advise, i have to start from scratch on a stud partition wall wall where the bath with shower will go, would you use plasterboard and tank it, or hardie backer boards or those lighweight polystyrene cement faced boards or something else,?? Also what thickness?. Keep up the videos Greg. Thanks Kevin
Your much better off using elemts board or something similar usually we use 10mm thick
For your lowest course of tiles how are you keeping the height correct from the floor? Are they resting on anything/on chocks or are you just relying on the adhesive to keep them in the position you put them? TIA
Lovely work, this channel deserve more subs!! Out of interest do you know what cutting disc he’s using?
Hi elliejake thanks for your kind words it takes time and We feel so lucky we have this many, the cutter as far as I’am award is rubi full disc cutter but I will ask Greg to confirm thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍
Hi Ellie
Tony is correct i use Rubi cutters for all my score cuts but in my grinders I like to use 110mm and 125mm pre tool blades
Thanks for watching
Greg
Thanks for taking the time to reply
Picking the right adhesive is where I am struggling, I have some thick ceramic tiles to put on the floor and walls, they’re 600x600. I’ve never done this before so I don’t want adhesive that’s going to go off really quick, would you recommend any particular adhesive?
Hi Greg, at 9.30 and 19.10 when your grinding the tile im sure it was deliberate that you done that by an open window to get some airflow. Im ashamed to say that despite tiling for over 30 years i did not take care of my lungs. Not good, grinding creates a lot of nasty dust. Recently brought a large powerful 36" fan which i position pointing out of an open window and i set my bench up right in front of the fan. Now when i grind the fan pulls the air away from me and blows it straight out the window. Also good when sweeping the floor, just sweep towards the fan and dust sucked straight out the window. Some may say wear a mask but i have a beard and they don't work if you have a furry face! Nice work buddy.
@@Etherglide I hear you. I work in a lot of mansion blocks in central London, often quite a few floors up and im not walking up and down stairs all day! And as for cutting outside on the pavement, no chance in those parts of town.
Simple .shit hot tiler knows his stuff learnt loads of this guy .do you not use tile levellers on the bathroom floors noticed you use them on the walls or is it only you use them on bigger tiles ?
Is our man Greg a giant?? Hope he plays rugby - perfect for a second row Lock.
I'll have to ask him next time I see the big man but yes - he's defo built for Rugby no doubt! 🏉
@ 23:32 what’s the tile called & where can I buy it? Great video btw 👍🏻
Great job 👏
Only thing I would say is I'm surprised you don't put a spacer on top of the tray, as that way when you silicone the tray round it has a good space for it to go in.
I've been to so many jobs where tilers sit the tiles directly on the tray & then the seal becomes compromised & water penetration occurs later down the line. Thats just a plumbers view is all!! To be fair it is a debatable point!
Btw where is the job site ?
great point, thats what i said.
Quick question - what are you planning to do with the tile edges - will you be fitting a tile edge trim afterwards? Cheers
Hi Oli,
The client has requested that the edges be left bare. They will be filled and painted when the rooms are decorated.
Hope this helps.
All the best, John 😊
@@BuildWithAE chrome strip would look better,would match the chrome doors and fittings aswell
Most high end edges are bare and painted
Great that , what do you find best for getting rid of grout haze ?
Hi Chris there is special liquids you can buy on line or Wring thoroughly, as too much water can damage grout. Then, wipe tile surface with the damp cheesecloth/towel. This method will help “reactivate” the grout haze, lifting it off the surface, I will ask Greg to comment as well tomorrow thanks all the best Tony 👍
Build With A&E cheers Tony , since grout changed because of the introduction of porcelain tiles its become more of a problem
Hey mate what is the name of that hole file to end up with a smooth finish ? Cheers Alex
