[QUOTE="Newman21, post: 975841, member: 56369"] Good evening, Apologies if this is the wrong forum to post this in, but I have an issue with some recently laid tiles and was hoping for some advice. About a month ago we had approx. 50m2 of 60cm x 60cm porcelain tiles laid in our new kitchen, which is a solid concrete floor. Shortly after the tiles were laid, they sounded very hollow and a week or so later they started to rock every so slightly - not enough to crack the grout, but enough to make a taping noise when walked over. The tiler has returned and pulled up 19 tiles - all off which were virtually clean, as in no glue had adhered to the tile, and has relaid. A few weeks later a further 17 have failed - at which point we are nearly half of the space. Does anyone have any advice as to what would be the best way forward. We are pleased he has offered to come back again, but each time he lifts the tiles, we get small chips etc, and the floor is starting to look tired already, not to mention the dusk from angle grinding out all the grout. Would his insurance cover him against adhesive failure? I'd rather not go down the court route, but equally having laid £3k worth of tiles, we are not best pleased! Thank you [/QUOTE]
