    Should be ok to do both now. 6 weeks is loads of time. Has the heating been on much?

    My honest feeling on this is dont tile for a year.

    Also tile before you lay wooden floors and you will most likely have a step but lay wooden floors before the tile then the tiler can build up the floor.

    Then problem with doing this is the dirt etc can end up putting marks etc on the wooden floor.

    I tiled my floors after 3 months and resulting settleing from drying caused a crack across the centre. I suspected it might happen so kept a few yards of tile under my kickboards.

    It also cracked at the back door and inbetween the 2 different floors going into different rooms.
