Just another point Christian, I reckoned that by the tme I had taken my 22 quid

a meter slate, and bought all the oher ******** - cement, grout, sealer stain

stops and so on, it was up to double the slate cost - 44 quid a meter.


At about 2.5 meters per day and a rough labour cost of say 100 quid a
day, I reckon the laid price would have been about 80-100 quid a square.


Main regrets are not using intensifier everywhere, and not using wide
spacing



I used ardex pretty much everywhere - rapid set, as I was laying thick
beds to take up crap screeding. Its very good stuff is ardex. The
flexible stuff takes longer to set - mix it stiff or teh *******s will
slump.
