lol as we're not in the inner sanctum, I shan't translate it as I read it:smilewinkgrin::lol: I'm just waiting to see if Doug knows what that means...I'm sure he's been called worse
a decoupler wouldn't have helped with vertical deflection tho Joe, and I'm assuming it's vertical deflection that's caused the problem here and not lateral expansion.It is possible that movement could have been felt under foot! yes the tilers should have known and even recommended ditra matting or similar decoupling.
Who ever prepared the floor ie kitchen men? are responsible IMO
That's right Doug,as i said earlier the sub floor needs to be exposed and inspected before strengthening which if done right will eliminate any vertical deflection.This all plus the decoupling will all help the finish which is needed IMOa decoupler wouldn't have helped with vertical deflection tho Joe, and I'm assuming it's vertical deflection that's caused the problem here and not lateral expansion.
you really do need to take legal advise
the tiletrs agreed to liase with the kitchen fitters, with proper communication this would have been avoided
if the kitchen fitters are telling the tiling shop that they are experianced at this work then the shop may not have checked the floor before sending tilers over to do the job
the fact remains that filling the tiles isnt going to work as the movement in the floor will break the filler out . this problem isnt going to cure itself
there is movement in the floor and it needs rectifying and retiling
firm legal action is needed to sort this out , both parties have let you down and are refusing to take responsibility
