sometimes you cant change the minds of some older tilers,but hey he is entitled to his opinion but i dont agree with it either and i would never spot fix a tile of this weight on walls in that mess,the walls should have been sorted out at the beginning of the job imo.
this old tilers opinions are formed from 45 years experience not from books or supa dupa tiling schools
PS i did mention the weight factor
The Following User Says Thank You to For This Useful Post:
Just a thought about the surveyor? Does it really matter what he knows, it only matters what he writes surely.
He has that BSc MRICS after his name, the court will take it as Gospel if it goes that far, add in the adhesive manufacturer and 3 "Tile Companies / Fitters (Time Served)".
This may be the wrong way of seeing it, but I am sure that's how it is.
"The Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 says the bathroom must be installed with reasonable care and skill. The standard required is that of any other competent member of the trade in question. Moreover, the installer must use materials that are of satisfactory quality and fit for their purpose."
You lot have answered the above about 100+ times I reckon.
I would be most surprised if a defence could even be submitted that would have much chance of success.
I do have a written Order / Quote / Contract.
However, I still don't really want to take that route unless it is unavoidable. Although it is looking that way.
He will get his letter, and hence his chance to put it right.
1 Manufacturer has stated they will happily put their thoughts in writing. And clearly state how their adhesive should be applied.
It is stated on the packet too funnily enough.
i think you've got all the help/advice and technical info now mate
i would just sit back and enjoy the young V old gits fight

i foregive you my son
say 3 hail marys and 1 our father
Think everything has been said mate, the only thing i'll add is that whenever we all come acoss a job here we have to remove tiles, it usually takes 1 tile for us to spot dot and dab and we all get a little smile as we know that you tap them and they are off.
this is a job i did a few years back in lisbon (granite ) every tile was spot fixed
I don’t think you will get away with spot fixing tiles like that in this country m8. Mechanically fixed exterior cladding I think after a certain height anyway.
