Another customer falls for a so called tiler

[Qwerty]

Re:Bendy tile......last time I saw something that shape it was the ski ramp on the deck of HMS Invincible!

I can think of something I saw that shape a lot more recently. Perfectly normal apparently so the GP tells me 😉

My new apprentice has been working with me for 5 months now. I can 100% guarantee he could install a bathroom, tiling and all, to a much better standard than that.

I am beyond amazed that the guy touted himself as a bathroom fitter.

Please don't tar us multi-trade guys/gals all with the same brush though. Some of us do actually take a pride in our work!

Dot and dabbed walls, no where enough dabs to stop any bounce, plus the original builder used 9.5mm boards.

Bendy tile ? BCT ?

Good guess Neale. BCT

Are BCT rated badly?

I don't touch anything I am not trained with.. If a toilet needs taking out or a rad taking off I call the plumber.. If not already made aware on pricing date.

It was just a guess but a good guess so work it out

As for Multi-traders (croft) ... If you are good at what you do & are backed up by references + take great pride in your work then I don't see a problem with any of it of course.

I personally don't take a certificate of course completion as a positive thing straight away anymore unfortunately..
Only because a local multi-trader to me has his certificates plastered all over his van and tells me I am wrong when looking at a bouncing wooden floor a while back on a job.. when I pulled the floor up, the joists in question didn't meet the internal walls!!
I later learnt he has no work due to such a bad reputation :lol:

LOL he sounds like a bellend. I'm not a tiler as my first trade and I know that bouncing floor and rigid tiles = disaster!!

Have just spent a whole day recently strengthening a first floor wetroom floor by blocking it solid with 4x2 timber before overlaying with 25mm plywood and floor tanking with decoupler membrane. There is no movement in that bad boy at all now but I am worried that the floor weighs more than the house!

This is where I stand too.
The pieces of paper I've seen don't mean much, but I guess he knew how to do things properly once!
