    Default Dodgy Tiling

    If I ever see a posting on here again about PVA here are the results of a job where PVA was used so take note.

    Also included a nice dot n dab picture where a log burner was going to be installed.

    And finally nice pictures that a time served guy with 25 years experience was proud to call his work on a site I was working on.


    So remember no PVA no Dot n Dab use a level and no stupid slithers or your pictures may end up here.

    not very good is it?SETTING OUT properly would have rectified the slither on walls and taking time cutting holes or cuts for sockets would have given him a better finish around sockets...better prep on steps would have saved him dot and dabbing..25years experience..i suppose he knows best then eh!

    Show us your finished work please Gary.

    Just to clarify the splashback was tiled by time served tiler with 25 years no kidding experience. The dot n dab was by another tiler on a different site and the steps were by another lot of tilers. The splashback was left by the developer and the flats are on the market supposed high quality finish lol.

    Have found the steps finished pics and still trolling through others trying to find the log burner pics.
