Bad tiling job???

[Richgazza]

I think his trying to worm his way out of the mess he's in by blaming you !!!
stick to your guns until they get it sorted. Have you paid them yet?

Unfortunately....Yes..They took my money from when the materials were delivered....I had to pay the fitter in installments (Their own fitter btw)...He played us!!!! Claiming that he needed money upfront for materials to do the job for us, then blaming a car accident preventing him getting to us unless he could hire a van, which he asked for further labour costs upfront.
Then the fitter claimed that his boss (The company) were harrassing him to pay his site survey fee's which was to do with our property? And that as he was skint, could we pay this upfront to him.
I'm really angry with myself and realise that all our money went without a completed job....But then you think you can trust an established company with their fancy showrooms!! 🙁

What is the professional method when dealing with a ceiling height variation.....Do you guys (The professionals 😎) fill the void with nearly 2" of grout? or is it a case of bad planning from the start?

So this guys saying they set out every bathroom with a full tile to the low point of the ceiling...what a load of Tosh, cut to the ceiling should be measured off the top two corners of the last full tile minus 6mm for spacer and joint to ceiling, don't think ive come across a level ceiling yet..

You cut the tile to the ceiling leaving a tiny gap 1 to 2mm for expansion to be Silicon or chalked in.

Beat me to it 🙂

Yep, they are

If it gose legal then you can only claim against assets that the company own and not any personal assets . Having said that if they get a ccj against them there credit rating will fly out the window and make trading for them extremely difficult ..

Well fortunately, I also paid the first £1k deposit on the credit card. 😉

The ceiling could be sorted by battoning and plasterboarding and lowering it, or fitting a plastic ceiling.
I'd say an independent report by another tiler or bathroom fitter may be in order, even if you had to pay for it..makes you wonder if the finnish is like that what's behind the tiles 🙁

I've had tilers out to assess the job, both have expressed some concern over this....Saying it's pretty bad!
