Hi All,
First post so sorry if this has been covered before. Had a load of grey quartz tiles (from that supplier in the North East) installed, part over a suspended wood floor, part over a concrete screed floor with hot water under floor heating.
The tiles were installed back in August, but we only moved back in over the weekend. We noticed that in a couple of areas, the grout had gone dark, and on closer inspection it was damp. The tiles in these areas had also come loose. We got the builder back in and he took them up and there was water and damp lying all over the bond.
We have now had to take most of the tiles up as they had come loose. Most of them have bowed and need replacing, but in all areas, there was water lying under the tiles. The UFH is not leaking anywhere and there are no other leaks anywhere either.
I'm really worried the builder is going to turn round and say that the tiles are not suitable for laying on UFH, but it doesn't explain the water.
Please Help!
