    TO stop slipping off edges or to stop it from breaking away?

    Any reason why you wouldn't just drill through the tiles and use a ramped profile??

    They want a cheap job doing. It's a nightmare. Think I'll walk away. Should of took more pics. The floor is the same in the room.They dont want it ripping up, can't take most of the fridges and cookers out.
    They just want everything covering. Don't think altro expresslay will work on the main floor. I thought about using them non slip pads on the ceramics and fitting them close to the edge?

    Is that a chip I see on the floor must be a dodgie kebab shop must have their food hygene inspection coming up HS must've told them they have to have saftey flooring.
    When are these idiots going to learn this is not the costa del sol all fast food resturants kitchens should have safety flooring in them coved and caped not ceramic tiles its not allowed the only ones that can are mcdonalds kfc and bk.
    Not sure if its mandatory but it should be an looking at those steps I won't by anything from him.
    Mind you once you've seen BOH in some of these places you tend to give them a wide berth.
    Got a BOH corridoor to do next week at Heathrow, already seen it and it makes those steps look good this is heathrow ffs, so if you don't want deli belly to ruin your holiday before it starts don't buy a cooked meal at heathrow turst in the name cadburys or mars an pig out on chocolate.
    I've seen cleaner food prep and circulation areas in 3rd world countries than what I saw BOH the other night really made my stomach turn.

    what product do they want to end up with? or they just wanting you to make the flooring they have none slip?

    I have a product that can turn them tiles none slip but the stairs need replacing. Maybe chip tiles off and make new treads out of 18mm plywood and install new flooring to this (safety flooring)
