Hello there
Just a quick one. I am tiling a chimney breast with a fire grate etc. Do I commence tiling to the centre of the wall above the opening ie lay the first course across the full chimney breast on a baton and then work down to the hearth once the initial first course has gone off?
Or do I start at the hearth and work up but there would be no centre line to work off because of the opening.
Hope you get what I mean.
Thanks
