[@jinksy31337]

incredible to watch someone whom takes such pride in their work, refreshing

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks jinksy31337 much appreciated have a awesome weekend thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍

[@gman8950]

Mate honestly, the attention to detail of you lads is just second to none. Credit where credit’s due and it’s great to see your level of craftsmanship.

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi George, Our whole team strives for perfection in all that we do, and hopefully that shines through in our videos. Thanks for watching. All the best, John 😊

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

Said it before but so great to see a decent trade with real skill, knowledge and pride in his work. London is like the Wild West at the moment, cowboys everywhere!

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Keef thanks for your kind words, unfortunately the industry is not regulated well enough as in other countries but unless the government change it what can we do, thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend

[@gregneale4455]

Hi Keef. Tha is for your kind words that means alot. Your not the first person to say this. If you require anything message me on my DM's. We do travel but are really busy. Thanks Greg

[@justjacqueline2004]

Yes could not agree more,London has become the Okay Coral for so-called builders.One of my bosses is having his cottage built,here in South Kensington, whilst the quality of the materials used are unquestionable so far,the workmanship is "surprising".

[@Napoleon-Blownapart]

@@justjacqueline2004 We've had our fair share through our house the past couple of years, from tilers to 'kitchen fitters'. 'Surprising' is putting it very politely 😂

Wow. He’s a proper tiler! Not like the blokes who come to my house. I think they rely or grout and silicone covering up their sins. Great job, well done. A & E, your company is quality 😀

Hi abdul thanks for your kind words all the best Tony 👍 thanks for watching have a awesome weekend

[@dawidmlynarczyk3804]

Im just wondering how much you pay your tiler xDD

[@abdulrahiman812]

Dawid Mlynarczyk £300 for 2 Sqm I’m a teacher and earn that over 2.5 days.

Great job Greg....done a few of these...most memorable one was when a Postman walked across my work 20 mins after I'd left....not only in but back out again..... You can't teach stupid....

Tough, stressful day today, just got in, wife made me a roast chicken sunday dinner, and i just noticed A&E have a new video posted. Feet up and a cuppa tea. Cheers lads.

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks for watching Frank, take care 👍

[@BuildWithAE]

Thanks for the kind words Frank, i'm glad you're liking our videos very much appreciated.

[@tilerman]

Used to do loads of Geometric paths years ago, used to screed the path, trowel over neat liquid cement while screed still damp, and tap tiles straight in. Last forever. And im sure Greg will know, some borders are very complex so to keep the corners looking neat with whole squares or triangles, somewhere halfway along the border there is a little 'fiddle'. Greg will know what im talking about! Whenever i walk past a geometric path, be it 100 years old or 5, i can't help but look for the 'fiddle'.

[@daveburnham9111]

Lovely work.Is there a video on prepping the surface and laying the matting?

[@samsmith2336]

I’m a slab layer and put my hand to anything! But I was to have any tiles done this guy is the man I’d want, everything I’ve watched him do is as close to perfect as possible.

[@gregneale4455]

Hi @samsmith Thanks so much for the compliment it really does mean alot Have a good week dude Greg

Now I know why I stopped doing this sort of work, it is amazing how the introduction of new materials and grouting makes the job easier, A lovely job and I wish I could claim that as my work, Thank you for showing it. If only my knees would allow me to kneel. Pleased to see you using kneelers. I suffer because I didn't when I was younger so be warned.

[@paulthompson5416]

It’s really nice to see someone taking so much pride in perfecting there work with such a nice tile 👌🏼👏🏼 Also here’s a question for Greg. What bathroom anti mould sealant would you recommend for bathrooms? I’ve had to redo my twice in three years 😡 I’ve used tec7 and unibond both anti mould and both have started to mould each time. They’ve been white in colour but could be grey or clear also? Any advice would be appreciated 👍🏼

[@BuildWithAE]

Hi Paul thanks for your kind words, Greg has a passion for tiling as I have for wood. Reference Silicon question I would use Mapei or Dow Corning in the colour required we will also speak to Greg and see what he thinks, thanks for watching all the best Tony 👍 have a awesome weekend

[@gregneale4455]

Hi Paul. I totally agree with Tony on this one. The problem with mold can also occur because of the way the sealant is applied. Ie licking a finger to smooth the seal of. Try using Window lean instead and a silicone tool. Hope this helps Greg

[@paulthompson5416]

Thanks Tony & Greg for your reply’s 🤷🏼‍♂️ holding my hands up here because from memory it was a finger with a little soapy water 🤦🏼‍♂️ What I’ll do is get a little silicone tool/ windolene and try either mapei or dow this time round and hopefully get more that a year out of it!! But sure by the time I get the silicone issue sorted she’ll be looking it done again 😂😂😂 usual story🤦🏼‍♂️ keep up the great work guys you all seem to have a great passion for your work and it’s a pleasure to watch “proper” tradesmen doing the job right. Also nice to see a tiler not using the tile box as spacers 😂😂 fuk me I’ve worked with some butchers😆

[@acidlumin]

@@paulthompson5416 as well as the other suggestions (use a tool, no dirty fingers), as soon as you see a bit of mould starting, squirt some thick bleach on it and it’ll be gone in a few hours
