    Loose tile over underfloor heating

    We have prowarm electric mat laid on concrete base. Ceramic tiles 600x 150 mm laid on top. One tile makes a ‘cracking’ noise when walked on; assume this is a sign it is loose. The grout is still intact. Is there any solution that doesn’t involve ripping my hall floor up.

    Loose Tiles

    Took this floor up last week, not even 6mm ply on the scene and she said the tiler was good :confused:. But it had been down 20 years, few cracks and missing grout on the edges where there was a lack of adhesive. Took all of 20 minutes to lift:)

    First time poster. Hello all :) We had a leak from our dishwasher, which has since been replaced. The problem is, I suspect that the leak went undetected for quite a while and has affected the surrounding flooring. Some of the floor tiles near to the dishwasher 'flex' slightly and give off a...

    You win some, you loose some

    Slightly cheesed that a decent sized job has gone elsewhere.. Always a bugger when you have put a lot of work and time into quoting and finding tiles at a better price. Shame as it was off the back of another job I did... They have found cheaper stone themselves and the shops own fitter...
