You mabe want to drop Tilinglogistics a PM if you really have to grind and polish. Did you not check the floor for flatness before you started? | ||

If the old wooden floor underneath had water damage then I wouldn't have even started to think about laying ufh and tiling. Good luck with it. | ||

Really I don't see anyother way than lifting the floor, replacing damaged floor boards and retiling if the customer demands a flat level floor, unless there is a way of grinding them down and polishing them up. | ||

Hi I know I'm a bloody donught kicking myself. lifted old flooring up and most of the floor had disapeared. so set to work at replaceing. but now starting to run out of time !! argh . so tryed my best to repare floor then plied over top but now there is obviously a swollen bit that i missed. the lipage is probably a couple of mm. showed customer and told her what the problem was and she was fine but then hubby comes home from work and is not happy.( don't blame him realy ) i'm thinking of lifting high tile and ginding down but there is underfloor heating down so panicking about damaging that any adivise is very much appreciated.  | ||||||||||

If it is genuinley only one tile it could probably be hand grond especially as it is only a couple of mm. I think i would be more tempted to do this than start lifting tiles IMHO Kev | ||||||||||
