You'll have to cut each tile individually so that the bottoms of the tile match the slope of the work top and so that the tops of the tiles are level and line up with each other. Start with a full tile at the lowest end of the work top and as you work your way "uphill" each tile will need more and more cut out of it to keep the tops level as i mentioned above.
Generally speaking the old school way is to dig a hole in the garden and empty it there. Wait for the water to filter out and then cover it back up. Modern ways include using something like a slurry bucket which also filters out sediment which you can later throw out. Whatever you do just don't pour it down the drain.
Hey i'm just curious why you never used a good profile on the top edge of your splash back? I think it would have looked much cleaner and maybe even a paler grout. Grout is a maker or breaker and i think the client made a beautiful job look tacky.
2-3mm is good. I've always thought big grout lines are ugly. if you want a genuine brick effect you'll need 10mm gaps and tiles that look like bricks 😂
About to attempt my first kitchen splash back tomorrow and this video has given me the confidence i needed. Appreciate you taking the time to make it
You got this!
i love all about diy, i wish i have a strength and time to do it myself. 👍😍
You can do it!
Cracking video mate, helped a massive amount!
Glad it helped
Nice work buddy! Enjoy the videos 👍
Thanks mate! Good to hear from you!
@@dingeldiy absolutely man. Been awhile!

Thanks, will do!
Awesome video !!! Can you do video installing laminate floor?
If i get the opportunity, absolutley!
A great job but whats with the tile edge made with grout have you never heard of tile trim?
The clients decided against trim, each to their own. Thanks for watching!
or silicone / caulk
Hi but what if the worktop isn't level and we use the worktop for our 1st row

Hi 👋, what do you do with the dirty water? What's the correct way of disposing of it?
Generally speaking the old school way is to dig a hole in the garden and empty it there. Wait for the water to filter out and then cover it back up.

It was the clients preference, all options were presented and I'm just there to do what I'm told sometimes.
what size spacers are best for brick effect splashback tiles? I have a spare bag of 2mm ones but I think they're too small for the brick effect.
2-3mm is good. I've always thought big grout lines are ugly. if you want a genuine brick effect you'll need 10mm gaps and tiles that look like bricks 😂
@@dingeldiy I used 2mm and it looks great
We’re do you live , I need my kitchen tiled🥴
Melbourne, Australia
how'd you go getting those power points re-installed with added thickness of the tile?
Not usually a problem but you can buy packets of longer ones for very cheap
Longer bolts
Hello, Can I use 1 mm spacers for this type of tiles?
Yes, it shouldn't be a problem!
Did great on the mitered corner but then kind of screwed the pooch with that 45 degree grout pack at the top. That's just hideous.
It's not the most elegant solution that's for sure!
Could have put a nice piece of stainless steel edging or at least a black plastic one !
You are definitely not a tiller why make a video on tiling when you don't really know what your doing leave it to the the professional 's
Thanks Jon, what would you do differently?
