tiles a £5 each John.......they are on a "wet" heated screed......it's lipping to hell and back (4-5mm per tile!).....and it's as flat as a camels back (10mm gaps in 1.5m") and thats being nice!...........his cutting around door frames is.....well....
how can I be nice.........? unprofessional.........will that do?.........
not to mention he has no clue how to install encuastics..........has no idea on the procedure....(from what the client has told me!) let alone the execution.........
and he is a forum MEMBER!...........
oooooooohhh!.....

Some peeps just come on here to pick up information.....they presume we tell them everything.........and this is the result........
he has a lovley website and some nice pictures to boot!..........(they are not his!)
as for whom it is...........you have no chance...........I dont want to get it to a deflamitory isssue in a legal battle.......
just be aware of what you all post..............afterall.....he could say........YOU TOLD HIM TO DO IT THAT WAY!

Nice one....I've seen a program on brain surgery......anybody want me to have a go, cos that's the way I saw it done. :lol:
You're right though Lee, keep it to yourself.

Probably best to shut all forums down then. What is a forum for if it's not for the exchange of information? If you're not willing to help others then there really is no point being a member.
I'm sure many do read the forums then go out and still not understand what they are doing, yet i'm sure the forum is also responsible for helping countless members become better tilers and raising standards.

In English. Just because said person joins TF , they then become a member , that said person could be DIY or wot ever. Being a member doesn't mean one is a tiler. Ok ya.
Infact some possesssssss to be tilers and ain't :lol:
I'm with you gary, I want to know who it is, and yes why hasn't he gone back to correct. Or maybe that's why lee was there, the customer probably didn't want to call the guy back. I did a retile last week after someone did a real bad job. But when I was first there looking I did say to the customer they should be giving the other guy a fair chance to rectify what he has done. To which they declined. Maybe the case here.

I posted this "in good faith"......(with pictures).............
I have not mentioned "whom" did the job...(and i will not in the future) and all points have been taken on board..........especially Daves.....
but I have to state that this guy advertises himself as a "victorian and encaustic specialist"................he is taking "good quality" work away from professional tradesmen.......in my area.........
but its not just my area............there are several worthy tilers whom would have loved this job........they would have charged less (it was expensive!)...and would have done a much better job!
IMO!
is that fair?
all the best

I am not sure TBH .......he is American and she is from Australia.......and they have a "very" small child.........all I got from them is......
they wanted the work done "prior" to them moving into the abode.....and therefore paid in advance......in good faith............the job is not finished.....all this aside......paying in advance is not a crime......
I have to admit it has never happened to me......but then again......I HAVE NEVER ASKED FOR THAT!........
there are still a few M2 by the bi fold doors to complete.....
so he has dissapppeared.....IMO
O
On one
I too have never understood clients paying before the job is completed, I have never taken any money before the job is entirely completed.....even if it is just a bead of silicone,(I think you can get complacent if you receive funds before completion). Now once the job is completed.....that is a different matter
