Absolutely, surely joinery is a finishing trade on par with tiling, this is a brand new kitchen ok probably Howdens or the like but I couldn't for shame leave that n sleep well

"Like" is the wrong choice but that's quite a job they've done there!

The shower tray was sat only on that many blobs of mortar. £9k was charged for this bathroom, floor is d&d'd as well, There's a broken tile 'L' shape around soil stack boxing in on floor and the guy who did it said, "if I replace it, it will only break again as it's a weak point"

I wonder if the installers quote stated " for display purposes only". Clearly not suitable to be used!

Well it hasn't been used for 3 months so technically it was a display

I'm in hospital having a baby and the tiling round the lifts is real bad a decent rock climber could scale it its so lippy and the joints are very badly spaced

His tiles fell off the wall while fixing. Apparently, the adhesive was faulty!

Clearly faulty adhesive as it hasn't stuck to the walls or the tiles
