[nybor62]

you need to have a serious word with your builder, dont let him fob you of , its wrong what he as done ,

is there any point me trying to pull up the tiles myself today? it was quick drying adhesive, so thats around 24 hours

[Del W]

can i just say im quite amazed how many tilers are lurking around here on a sunday morning

If he's unsure how to lay these he shouldn't have attempted it. Unfortunately it's happening more and more where builders think they know how to tile and end up ruining the job. I'd be asking for him to supply replacements and get a professional in to do the job

If your builder was any good,he would have got a pro tiler for the job,and the maybe there would be one less tiler on here because he would be working on your floor. :smilewinkgrin:

OMG

SPOT THE PROBLEM,

Builder are ment to build tilers are ment to tile .Think the builder has a bit of a problem there

 

[EverDon Tiling]

Just out of curiosity what substrate is it? from the pic it looks like ply and if you zoom in looks poor quality as if its 3 or 6 mill might just be me tho.

 

[technodad]

plywood but its pretty thick, about 10mm i think. they did a good job of getting everything ultra level etc, not so easy in a victorian house with 120 year old floors.

 

[EverDon Tiling]

if its 9mm its too thin anyway imo how solid is the floor?
