tliling over wooden cladding

[paddy11]

Hi... I have tongue and groove wooden cladding along the lower half of my bathroom, to a height of about 3ft. I now wish to tile that area...is it advisable to remove t&g (really don't want to do )... or can I tile over? Ta!

Certainly, as long as the panelling is really secure. Give it a good clean, then a coat of diluted PVA adhesive (about 5:1 water:PVA, and let it dry. Then tile away ;o)
