what would you do if confronted with this? - Tile Advice

[LM]

Please help me. Had my wet room tiled and they've done what's supposedly called an envelope cut but it isn't very aesthetically pleasing and other cuts like that when googled look a lot more symmetrical. Can you give me advice on this? Is it done wrong?

Always remember a few years ago turned up to tile a kitchen splash back, the units were full. Cleaned it all of, started tiling. At lunch time popped out to get a sandwich. When I got back they had put it all back. Good jobs but not to bright.

Not if you let your customers know beforehand that everything must be removed before you start work

Bit like when yo turn up to do a job and they tell you that your tiles are in the garage,but im not tiling th garage am i im tiling the bathroom upstairs

I've had to clear away breakfast items in the past. i.e. the table, chairs, bowls and cups.......then sweep up the cornflakes off the floor before I could start tiling it.

Bathrooms are always full of tooth brushes and shampoo's etc. It's like I've just tured up out of the blue to tile their rooms.

Tiles in the garage is one thing I really don't like. I've had that many times

 

[Andy Allen]

I Always say I'll unload my tools while you get the tiles upstairs from the garage.

What's the problem with tiles being in the garage? If you turn up with them in your van do they get in the house by themselves?

 

[Spare Tool]

Long as the tiles are on site I can't see any reason to complain...if I turned up to do a bathroom and there was a great big stack of tiles in the middle of the room I'd spend half an hour moving most of them out the way

Never seen tiles with legs actually,when i give a price for a job it is to do the tiling not to spend a few hours carrying them from the garage,i dont supply tiles anymore so i dont think ill have a problem getting them in from the van,dont mind helping anybody but believe the tiles should be where im working
