Dodgy tiling

[Stef]

Last month I walked out on a builder I do work for, was fed up of bending over backwards for them & getting no thanks for it, working 90/100hrs per week etc.
Any way they were back on the phone asking me to come back & yesterday I got sent to a house to "see what I could do" with the tiling.

This "Tiler" had been recommended to them by CTD to replace me..

Jesus now that is bad work to me. There aint a chance id leave a job like this. I see they didnt set the tiles out right because noone would leave such a small cut there.

As for being asked on what can be done by the builder. The builder should know that theres f-all that can be done apart from taking them off and doing them again.

They might appreciate you a bit more now.

or are they showing off that they can do better than you. . .?

 

[celt]

did they use a hacksaw or grinder with a shaky hand to cut them tiles lol

To be fair I wouldn't have tiled up to the coomb ceiling as it was a mess but I would never have left anything like that.
Travertine hadn't been sealed, covered in grout residue.
Very poor job from a supposed Tiler!!

Not sure Trevor, will find out next week when I'm up.
The guy was boasting seemingly about how much work he had on but could come & do this with just a few days notice!!
These are only some pics from the ensuite,
I can't believe anyone can put out this standard of work.
Job wasn't far from you, East Kilbride to Newton Mearns road, last exit up the hill before you get to the 77 roundabout.

Know where you are stef, I'm fed up of these bums bragging about work and at the same time stealing it from those who do it properly.

Faaaaalcing hell boy

Keep us posted on what happens with this job. Im surprised a builder let that job go so far. He should have spotted this a mile off when the guy was doing this or half way through it

Stef, I am going to ask you a question, do you want to go back and work for this builder or not? You said you bent over backwards for them before and had enough of them. I am not addressing the workmanship, because its all been said. Seriously the decision you have to take is this, do you need the work or not? They set themselves up for this one, and they got what they deserved. If they had treated you better they wouldnt have been in this situation. Your great at what you do, and I feel they dont deserve your services, unless you need the work I would walk...but thats just me.

Whatever decision you make, let us know.

Thanks Lynn, honestly? I don't need the work as I could fall back onto private work easily,
I'm always busy.
I have worked for this builder for 4 n a half years & I walked to prove a point & it worked.
It could have back fired on me but there was method to my madness.
I feel sorry for the client & I only met her on Thursday.
I wish I could do more to rectify the situation for her but apart from a full rip out then my hands are tied.
