Frequently asked
Will a mid-job change always affect the finish date?
It depends on the change, a small material substitution may not, but anything touching pipework or tiling sequence usually will.
Can I change my mind about tile colour after tiling has started?
Only if it's caught before the tiles are fixed, once adhesive is applied, a change usually means removing and re-tiling that section.
