flatness checks

[colin178]

Hi

When looking at walls and floors when estimating a job do you check for flatness / dips to see if remedial work will need to be done i.e. slc, dot & dab etc?

What is the maximum depth allowed when checking flatness is it 3mm over a 2m length?

If this exceeds the maximum do you carry out this remdial work or do you just back butter the tiles depending on how bad it is?

Cheers

Any tiler who wants to do well, will always sort out whatever substrate before any tiling is done, if needed. Good preperation will earn you money, and less problems.

Flatter the better.

Depends on the job mate and what the customer wants to pay if your only packing out on a small area just deep bed it with the correct addy.

It varies from job to job, had a job last week where the customer had taken the original tiles up, his plasterer had skimmed 'something' onto the floor to level it... there was a very pronounced lump going from one room to the other, it was over half an inch difference in height. sorry about the dog it wouldn't move..
to the right of the dogs head, the 'lump was just inside the other room...
