    Floor Tiles Lifting

    I have had 30m2 of 600x600 flooring tiles laid after which the grout started lifting. I thought it was simply needing regrouted and the original tiler was too busy to attend so I got another tiler whom said the tiles were boss and needing lifting. I then obtained a second opinion and another...
