Re: Hall of shame....
Is this work really worth £50m2?
In my last post "in pricing" i stated about sometiling work someone had done,went back and tried to rectify their work.
The client had noticed a dip in the floor and asked if icould level floor out. They were out all day so i started on removing the bellied tiles out after assessing the bad ones out.
Here are the results i found in his laying.
Boards were 9mmthick.
They had a new floor fitted the builder did not know anything about tiling so they asked the tiler on what boarding was required ontop of the floor boards.
Tiler quoted that 9mm was sufficient "ok" to use.
Tiles came up a pieceof cake; Adhesive had stuck to the tiles not to the floor base.
I took a small sample to tile giant to get confirmationon what i thought. He concurred that the adhesive was not flexi.
Also the bedding on the tile was only 1 maybe 2mm thick
The whole floor is out by 6/7mm in level.
He used 2 different colour grouts plus in some areas he used the addy as grout.
The cuts at rad pipes have been cut from the corner from a tile and not used a dia core bit this is also at the doors.
Grout not completely cleaned off tiles when he finished.
Instead of putting a cut to the shower tray he said that the builder can put a piece of battening to hide it.
Grout to low in areas.
i could go on.
Here are some more photos.
