Re: Hall of shame....

Hi all,

on a job recently tiling tiling a kitchen, customers had a big bathroom company doing 2 bathrooms upstairs. I think it was 2 tilers and 2 labourers and they were in there 2nd week as i started 25m2 kitchen + ufh which took 5 days and i still left with them upstairs.

Anyway one night when they'd left i went up for a look and omg!! Grey addy on trav, no priming on plasterboard then dot and dab, plasterboard packers for borders. The pic with my fat fingers behind the tile is where they have packed the wall out on one end.

Oh and i forgot about the trav straight onto the chipboard!!! The pic with my hand behind the tiles is pic 1 & 2, you can see where they have doubled up on the boards. One morning i turned round to see one of the so called tilers watching me combing the floor and he said 'oh, you do it like that do you?' lol. I was in two minds whether to tip off customers but it was my 1st job for this kitchen company and i did'nt want to be seen as a trouble maker.
