excellent videos fella, love your channel, i have noticed a slight mishap with your jackoboard installation though. jackoboard recommend that you fill in your wall fixings with tile adhesive prior to tiling
Great video. I've already painted my kitchen walls but now we've decided to put some tiles. Do I need to remove the paint first or can I apply the tiles straight on the wall?
I love all your videos mate, I always learn something from them. If you was tiling biggish square tiles on the walls would you use the levelling clips you used on the tiling bathroom floor video? Keep up the good work.👍
Thanks for the video, what tile material and depth have you used? I find whether I'm using porcelain or ceramic my cutter is rubbish and cracks everything, yours cuts through them so easily!
Brilliant video, planning on tiling my sister in law’s bathroom soon. (Definitely will come in handy as it will be my first time) ☺ also as we are on a tight budget she wants me to fit her a b and q kitchen. Any chance you could do a kitchen worktop install video as you are so good at teaching? Mainly how to join corners in etc with a jig and a router
Great vid - personally I do not understand why we bother with tiles today. Alternative products are fair quicker and less labour intensive. I have a house with not a single tile installed and think it is much better. Just a personal view - each to their own 🤓🤓
You can use them for wall tiling but only really needed for large format. I chose not to use them in this video to make it a little more DIY friendly and to show the fundamentals
With the sponge clean up, do you have to wet the sponge or are you dry sponging? The only damp wipe that you’ve mentioned is during the first microfibre wipe. So I’m guessing the rest of the wipe with the sponge prior to that is dry sponging?
I FUCKING LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ I genuinely think you should get an MBE for helping all of us Brits, with our shoddy old housing stock, polish our turds of homes.
I tiled for the first time recently and I could not have done it without a laser level - or certainly finish would have been naff. Not all the tiles are the exact same size so you quite often run out, especially if using smaller tiles as I was. Just using a spirit level very difficult
I know you said you didn't do the backer board, but i would hope you at least told the clients that the backer board joints and the screws, should have waterproof tape over them before tiling?
@@jackelley2644 in short, no. Tiles and grout are splashproof, but not waterproof. Grout is slightly porous and over time water WILL get behind the tiles in a wet area like a shower. This is why showers constructed from plasterboard always fail eventually, as the plasterboard gradually dissolves. There is an absolute epidemic of such poorly constructed showers in the U.K. The backer board they have used here is the correct material for the job - it is 100% waterproof, but obviously not where screws penetrate or on joints between boards. You need to cover the joints/penetrations with jointing tape and a paintable tanking membrane to make the shower envelope completely waterproof.
@@lorettaowens1504 Green board is not waterproof, it's water resistant. The joints are not waterproof, neither are the areas with the screws in. That's why you always use a waterproof tape before tiling in a wet area. Even in the non wet areas you would still need to use an acrylic tape etc, to prevent any wall movement from causing cracks in the joint areas and affecting the tiles or plaster.
@@TheDIYGuy1 I know what cuts the holes but it would have been more useful if you actually showed the holes being cut and how to get them in the right place on the tile.
I love this channel so much ❤️ always buzzing when a new video is out !!!!
Tiling is one of my favourite DIY jobs, thoroughly enjoyed this vid and i really do like that choice of tile. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Mine too! Cheers
Thank you for another brilliant lesson, master 👏
My pleasure!

Another great tutorial, excellent content on this channel, one of the best on youtube.
Glad you think so!
Very timely. I’ve just had to remove some tiles and need to know how to replace
Glad I could help
What’s your trade? All your work looks quality! Keep up the great videos 👍

Great video. Makes the job look simple. I very much doubt it is though. 👍
I used a piping bag to grout my tiles, quick, cleaner and looks just as good, just a little tip for you.
great tip mate
Hi, great tips. When mixing the grout instead of using bottled water, would it be better to use water boiled from kettle?
Thank you for your informative video!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, thanks mate
Anytime 👍
Another informative video, cracking finish, keep up the great work
Thanks, will do!

Glad you found it helpful. Kitchen fitting content including tops is coming but won’t be until 2025.
@@TheDIYGuy1 ok thanks 🙏
Question please sir! did you just put plain plasterboard behind your jackoboard. then extra strenght adhesive at the back of the jackoboard.
Great tips, thanks 👍🏻
Great videos!

Ace video - thanks. What would you deem large format tiles (i.e from what size up)?
Fantastic job love the videos.
Glad you like them!
i have bare plasterboard can i tile onto that or is it worth putting them boards on top that you mentioned
Great vid! I have a question - why are levelling systems used for floor tiling but not for wall tiling? Is it just not as noticeable?
You can use them for wall tiling but only really needed for large format. I chose not to use them in this video to make it a little more DIY friendly and to show the fundamentals
@@TheDIYGuy1 makes sense, thank you!
Can the jacko board be put over plasterboard. Need to do my bathroom, stripping off all the tiles and might have to replace the plasterboard walls.
Perfection!
Thank you!

Damp sponge 🧽
One job I hate doing lol 😊
👍 👍 Teach
Thanks! 😃
how do you cut in around toilets and pipes ... thanks
Just curious, would you not put spacers under the bottom edge? You've rested the tile directly on the tray.
Not needed in this situation really.

British standard says all showers should be tanked before tiling. As a minimum you should have sealed all screws and board joints
I shouldn’t because that’s not what I was brought in to do. I advised this but the bathroom fitter didn’t want to do it.
I tiled for the first time recently and I could not have done it without a laser level - or certainly finish would have been naff. Not all the tiles are the exact same size so you quite often run out, especially if using smaller tiles as I was. Just using a spirit level very difficult
Good feedback
Boholohwohahk 🤮 always better than tap water 😂😂 Great video!
😀
I know you said you didn't do the backer board, but i would hope you at least told the clients that the backer board joints and the screws, should have waterproof tape over them before tiling?
I advised a lot of things. But ultimately I did what I was asked to do.
Why do you need waterproof tape? Aren’t the tiles and the grout suppose to keep the water out?
@@TheDIYGuy1 Fair play, if the clients did not take your advise, then it is what it is.
@@jackelley2644 Joints and places where screws are, are not waterproof, that's what the waterproof tape is for. Tiles and grout are not waterproof.

Foil liquid before tiling would be great...
Well that sounds loike a Suffolk accent 😁
Norfolk 👍
@@TheDIYGuy1 Close 😁
@@kristinajendesen7111some say to close 🤣🤣
Mate, that is fantastic 👏👏👏
Why no waterproofing?
I was asked to tile it and that’s all. The bathroom installation is being done by someone else.
@TheDIYGuy1 isn't that jackerboard waterproof? In the US we use greenboard which is waterproof.

@@MadDog_Rules thank you. Someone lied to me
Cant believe the customer chose white grout for those tiles. I'd havd gone with grey 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah me too but each to their own I guess
Never put tile onto wood directly. Always need backer board.
You didnt show how you cut round your pipework.
Diamond hole cutter
@@TheDIYGuy1 I know what cuts the holes but it would have been more useful if you actually showed the holes being cut and how to get them in the right place on the tile.
The joints and screws on that backer board should be taped and tanked.
