Diamond Pool Finishers

Thanks mark , this pool had been tiled twice before by tilers ( i use the term loosely ) first time the client rejected the work ,the second time the floor exploded, the the pool company sent there A team to re-fix the insulated boards, then asked me to tile it, i went to the job and could not believe the crap work of the A team ,the boards were deflecting all over the place i took a closer look and many of the fixings were loose in the holes so we completely re -fixed the boards, then i screeded over this, with a special fast track screed then we had it tanked, then i tiled it........mad job, this was also for the pool company that almost every job i have done for them , i have had to put right from the start, .......

no Mark the walls don't need rendering, well the whole pool system don't need rendering if put together properly , but as i explained above they had been botched together , when we bolteted the floor down we then had the problem of the bolt heads being to high so the screed was to lose these heads and supple a good sub straight for the tanking/tiles ........

sorry Mark the whole pool is tanked with the best tanking liquid system i have ever seen, it is light blue in colour and hot spray applied then on the final coat they dash in a sand aggregate that give a mechanical key for the adhesive to bite-into !! it go's off as hard as anything ,,but as you would expect it's expensive £3500.00 for that pool ......
