Dot and dab court case - Tile Advice

[Perry]

I have been to a court case as a expert witness. And that was against a tiler that was sticking the tiles up with bonding plaster and readymix adhesive. I dont think he would of won without one, a policeman. Not sure if he ever got paid.

 

[Donna Borrill]

Hello all who helped me. So my telephone appointment with the mediator went well. The tiler has agreed to pay back the money I paid him for his work and pay back the money I spent on the tiles. He is coming back to remove the tiles which he laid incorrectly, get rid of them and leave my floor as he found it. So, 6 months later, I'll be back to square one, no tiles and a bare floor, but not out of pocket. I'm very relieved that I don't have to go to court. Thank you so much again Donna

Donna that is a huge win for you and maybe you don’t think it is, but truly it is. If the world was fair then you’d have been compensated for your troubles also. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be fair. In this durastiction what you’ve just got is a big plus. I’ve seen worse cases end up resulting worse for the victim .

Yes, I'll definitely be looking for a tiler! Just need to get my money back first and my current tiles removed, in case he goes back on his agreement.

Pm the administration members for a tiler in your Nottingham area when you need help.

Unfortunately ive seen plenty of dot and dab floors. But as someone said im not sure you could sue someone for it. Its a shame but it goes on all the time.

If a job is failing and you can point directly to the problem then I don't see why not . But if you had a dot and Dab floor and it isn't failing I doubt you can

Does public liability insurance not cover this?

Thanks

I would imagine not . Insurance companies don't like paying out at best. But I am pretty sure they won't cover somebodies work that is failing if they have used bad practice for taken insufficint care .

I’m going to try this route, I will let you all know.

Seems pointless having these insurances if that’s the case.

Thanks

Are you sure your contractor has public liability insurance

 

[Andy Allen]

Basic PLI is there for if your contractor accidentally damages your home or property....
It dose not cover bad work, where the contractor doesn't have a clue what there doing..

I think you will struggle with any claim against anybody as you have removed the floor .
