Since I had a gas safe engineer install the pipework signed it off and tested it do you think i am or not?

If your not gas safe registered please don't put up video off installation regardless off who signed it off. YOUR NOT GAS SAFE REGISTERED! do you know the regulations, clearance etc..stuff like this promote other people who don't have a gas safe engineer in there pocket..spent all these years in the trade for people like you to say to me I got someone to sign it off and he did the pipe work and then put up a video off installation. So if you put this video up and someone followed it and god forbid it goes wrong, who's the guy who promoted it.... doesn't say anything in the video about gas safe or anything..think twice remove the video thats my advice

Is that the thickness of your actual floor? Or is that the plywood you are going to put on top of your floor?

Do you have a reason why?

thank you my friend

Good to go use 12mm ply or 1/2 inch and your good as gold

you can prime it with SBR which is an excellent fast drying primer adhesive, it will dry in 20 mins in a warm room just paint on neat.. you will do great

Glad it helped thanks for the comment .. much appreciated

Sorry about that I was just int he experimental stage and will take that onboard

It's absolutely solid the grout and tile protects the substrate and adhesive below, it's all solid

the adhesive has different drying times which are written on the one you purchase somedry in 3 hours other in 8-9 hours and 14- 18 hours.Always better to leave it longer for a floor to set before you step on it

My pleasure!!

They have to go through both that's how they are bonded together other wise the door will fall out of the profile or the U shape as you call it

sorry... rectified in later videos

Nice judgement

Harwood as in oak or beech, Ash? If its a tongue and groove type timber you would need to over lay it with plywood and pin it together with screws or nails 300mm apart if that makes sense

I use a Mapei or rocatek adhesive which is a dry powder mixed with water, in the USA you call it thinset but I dont know who makes it

In the UK its a crime if you don't have a ticket

Thank you James You have now encouraged me to start Youtubing again

Specksaver is a good place to start..

sorry man i was new to the video thing

I use A sanitary silicone for all kitchen or bathroom applications usually the grout and adhesive manufacturers will have a silicone to suit and you can get it in the colour of the grout

What high pressure points are you talking about Chantel? This is a flexible porcelain tile adhesive which we use for tgis specific applications cation in tge UK 🇬🇧 possibly like a thinset in the USA 🇺🇸 but I have only used it a couple of times there

Thank you buddy

Just curious would this work on a regular plywood? I see some comments about marine grade but I find it hard to believe moisture seeping through a set mastic would cause plywood rot. I feel just like everything else in the world people create and push useless products to make a few dimes.

Great comment Christopher thanks for that buddy I will certainly try it out next video cheers

Definitely a faster techno sound.

Hey Mike thanks for the positive pointers your absolutely right I have redone the video with a voice over But thanks for taking the time to comment. Much appreciated

Thanks Garviel very kind hope you subscribed

@@DEESyt Yes i did

Thanks for subscribing 😃

Thanks for asking the question and watching the video, what is VJ board is that like a compressed MDF or Chipboard?

@@DEESyt It is pine wood I think(currently covered with paint and I haven’t stripped the paint off to find out what exactly is underneath), as this workers cottage is approximately 50yrs old and I’m sure there won’t be moisture resistant MDF available back then.

I had a look at the VJ stuff it's a tongue and groove so would expand and contract through the seasons.. best to take it off or put a 6mm or 1/4 " plywood screwed and glued on top of it before tiling as there is a possibility that the grout lines or tile will crack with movement of the wood underneath thru the year and it would just be a complete nightmare swapping that out

@@DEESyt the current situation is those VJ boards(made of solid pine timber) are the wall panels and it becomes impossible to rip them up unless I decide to do a major reno. Currently there is a small section of old wall tiles put on the pine wood as splash back and it’s close to window which it makes me curious and confuse if I should do the same thing as previous owner did or should I screw in a plaster board or plywood for the larger section of this wall to be tiled.

Screw in a plywood board 1/4 inch thick over the VJ

What is the thickness of the floor ?

Each grout bag will tell you the time It is described as pot life usually in warm/ hot weather 25°C + it will go off faster so I would start washing down after 30 mins normal temp after 40 mins

hey Billy thanks for leaving a comment this video was one of my first I made and have changed a lot over the few years I am on youtube, lets just say that I had not found my voice at the time. I am in the UK so sizes of trowel are in mm and we use tile adhesive not Thinset as in the USA however I remember using a gold thinset there a few years back which was expensive but very good indeed. hope it goes well for you mate and thanks again for taking the time. hope you subscribed for other talented videos with less music 🙂

@@DEESyt thank you for the response. I prefer metric as well. Did the tile hold up over the plywood over the years?

@@billybastar4022 I've never had a callback on a floor I have done in over 20 years

Lol who is Wendy? Sure send her over 😆

@@DEESyt Wendy is Bob the builders mate, Bob's a twat

Usually a 24 tooth per inch is fine Or 24 TPI

I don't know dude maybe I was frozen in the headlights 🤣🤣🤣
