Failed floor - is this an option?

Just a thought......if they go for injection method......and it fails? Will they ring you??

What depth/ thickness can the resin be injected to Alan?

Ostensibly it can be any depth. It becomes an issue with cost though. A typical 2pack epoxy resin bonding agent would be in the region of £50 to £70 per 5kg unit. 5kg will not cover much so i think it would be very expensive to inject a whole floor.

There would be no reason for it to fail. It would be a bit like restocking the tiles with flexible araldite glue...

I think it might be worth a call to see if someone is willing to have a look and offer an opinion on the floor and see if a. it's feasible and b. cost effective

If it was me i would give them the number of the firm who does the injection, wish them luck and walk away.

This would be my intention, I don't want to have anything to do with it. They can then make a decision themselves as to what they want to do

Got the number for Genesis but can only find a German number for Dural, anybody got a contact number for them would be most helpful.

Cheers

Genesis Tools 01642 713000.............. Hope that's who you mean mate? I didn't know they done injectors

From the original post you don't mention that this floor is actually on an decoupling mat! In which case I doubt if Genisis or Dural will be forthcoming with any advice. The injection companies will charge over a £1000 just to look at it and the answer would not be cost effective.
For a similar area with failed decoupling it would be in the region of 9k!
