Floor from hell.

[Time's Ran Out]

There are some jobs that are just not worth doing.
You spend time estimating, pricing , recommending etc. then in the end they put vinyl down!
There is always a way, but it should have been sorted before the new kitchen went in.

Totally agree. They already have the 6x6 porc and desperate to tile. I'm thinking now just suggesting all areas cement boards fixed with a s2 then skipping the ditra and they would have to accept it being slightly higher at thresh. Concrete plane as much as possible.

That's just the sort of job I used to go and see and recommend Lino or Amtico.

You know it's going to go pear shaped if you tile it, then you know it becomes your problem.

Agree with John, some are just not worth the ballache.

if you feel you cannot guarantee the work don't do the job. As a specialist contractor you are lawfully bound to offer work that is fit for purpose. if it goes wrong it comes back to you regardless of disclaimers, lack of guarantee etc... RUN!!

 

[AndY mac]

John you say there's always a way. What way forward would you recommend for customer apart from not doing the job.

Andy you can't fix hardie on top of concrete, if you went that route it would need to be a thermal board..
I would walk from this job as said it could go pear shaped..

 

[AndY mac]

Ye I know I can't fix hardie to concrete I'm talking about a non insulating backer board

 

[AndY mac]

Just noticed what I wrote in previous I meant just to replace the ply area with hardi.

Nice tile effect laminate would work great
