Going to look at a job tomorrow that...

Has been attempted by one builder which failed and a tiling firm that failed by subbing the work out to someone who was in over their head.

the tiles I hear are imported from Spain and look like wood and are reportedly expensive.

I know of the Italian ones and the cheaper topps ones.

do any of you guys know what tiles I could be faced with?

pics to follow tomorrow of the poor tiling!

And considering its the 3rd attempt, make sure you price it commensurate with the expertise and workmanship required.

I have just ripped up 80m2 of this same tile, another poor attempt at tiling by a builder. Was porcelanosa 1200x200, fixed with their adhesive one-flex butech I think? They didn't recommend a primer be used on anhydrite screed(which was never sanded), instant fail.
porcelanosa accepted some liability, and offered a discount on repurchase, but after surveying the work and seeing the fixing method it would have failed sooner or later had they used the right fixing products.
guess what the builders gone bust, so my client now has to foot the bill for a weeks prep, replacement tiles and fitting!
Shocking!
