have you ever seen a tiled substrate as bad as this?

[Dougs Third Go]

Got asked to investigate and remedy a failed bathroom floor this week, the tiles didn't even need a hammer and bolster to release them from this floating floor

a caber chipboard floor, rockwool fibreglass insulation on that, plasterboard on top of that, then another layer of chipboard (all floating) then tiled:yikes:

materials to remedy this 3m2 subfloor came to £200, (60mm wedi board, addy, screws and washers)

oh dear,lol just saw the british gypsum sheet say no more

 

[kilty55]

you could skim the floor with multi finish doug?

lol Jamie, my jaw dropped when I saw it all, I couldn't do an "exploratory" on my initial pricing visit as clients let it out as a holiday home too, luckily i just gave the a provisional price of taking up tiles and re-tiling, anything other than that was an extra

That plasterboard has been installed upside down, otherwise, fine. :yikes:

whats up with it did it fail :smilewinkgrin:

 

[peteablard]

They just didn't finish it properly, if they'd dot and dabbed the tiles with silicone it would have been fine
