If i did as above, find the centre, do jack on jack, and then work a sq at a time, ie awey from door, so left, right, then door side, left and right

Or whats your best method, 4 metres x 4 metre room, with 3 doors

I normally find the centre of the room and work outwards, laying all the tiles dry and then cutting them to the correct shape. Then you can fit them from which ever side is easiest.

Cheers, I like to arm myself with a good plan, before i go for it.

When going into to 3 doorways, around the door frame, is it best to cut bottom of frame to fix tile, silicone to tidy up around, or try to cut the awkward shape

Not sure if better to remore skirtings

would prefar not to.

You should find it easier to undercut the door frame-

If you remove the skirtings you can hide the expansion gap, but it is more work!
