We have just phoned the manufacturer, we are waiting for a call back from their Technical department.

The tiler is not here yet. Due any minute though.

No need to apologise , and Daves experiance far far out weighs mine as I have not been fixing for anywhere as long as Dave, but I do make sure I use the correct methods and not sloppy tactics.

British standards is a code of practice that all tilers should really follow.

It states how everything should be done propperly and safely from start to finish, something that grumpy dosen't seem to bother with in this case.

Spanky i can tell you now before you get into a huge wrangle with this tiler, if you end up in court on the issue of dabbing tiles you will without a shadow of doubt loose the case.Replies from an internet forum hold no water in court.
Get the correct advise from the adhesive manufacturer and an architect and go from there.
Using the reply from this thread against your tiler is money in the bank to him.

He's already been told by one adhesive manufacturer that dabbing is a big NO.
Even if this went to court, the method the tiler is using is against british standards so he wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

I have allready spoken to 1 of the technical departments of 1 of the adhesives companies that have supplied adhesive and they said it's against British Standards.

The information in this thread would be perfectly admissable as evidence, especially if it were backed up by one of the more knowledgable & experienced tilers acting as an expert witness.

Please don't lecture me on rules of law, I am usually pretty good when it comes to that.

The internet is a mind of information. Whatever it is, it has happened before on many occasions, and it has been written about many times.

Please don't take that personally though.

I have given evidence twice in the past five years on tiling cases.If i was giving evidence in this case i would discredit your internet forum advice simply by producing some of the replies posted on other subjects.In the last week i have seen someone advising drilling a hole in a ceiling to let water out,throwing soiled water behind bushes in the garden and even throwing it down drains.Be careful to understand the imformation given by the adhesive manufacturer they will no doubt say 100% coverage is highly desirable but i doubt if they will say its an absolute requirement.off to work now boys but happy to carry this on later.

So far from the conversation with the contractor and the tiler that they are sticking with the "they'll be fine" attitude.

Despite the adhesive manufacturer saying otherwise.

I am pretty sure they do not want the cost of doing it again, let alone replacing the tiles.

You help is much appreciated.
