Q

Qwerty

Another one for the collection- called by a couple to look at "settlement cracks" in the floor of their ensuite (it's ok though as that's what the builder told them might happen after a couple of years!!!! :yikes:)

I had to break the bad news to the customers that the cowboy fixing was to blame. The builder had laid the Marmox showerlay former directly onto joists with the rest of the floor (chipboard) tiled onto with NO tanking. The whole floor moves!!! I have never seen such a bad job

Bloody hell that's bad!!!

not sure what's worse, the guy who tiled it or the customer who lets it get so bad before thinking maybe it needs rectifying, even more so that it's a wet room, where did they think the water was going???
