Not a single expansion joint in about 9000m2. :yikes:

 

[John Benton]

Is it the 2 fresh chickens for a fiver sign? Slightly overpriced I would suggest.

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Not sure, it's in the Kennedy Centre. Dunno how they were completely missed out, when we did the big floors the first stretch was always your expansion and all the bays coming off the centre one.

Be interesting to see how long it lasts. Poor even by NI standards.

I know of a problem in Derry lately too.Surely the foreman on that job should have known better !!Maybe the tiles flex by themselves, lol.

There are expansion joints into every shop which have diffrent floors pity they dont have them anywhere else,cant believe a job that size something like that was overlooked bet there is a reason but cant think of one.

Was in again on Sunday and gave it a better look. They've tried to do a bit of remedial work by raking out grout (most of it) and putting grey silicone in. Still seems a bit optimistic putting a 3mm silicone bead in.

 

[Aston]

no expansion joints was the first thing to hit you immediatley..for the life of me i cant see how that could have been overlooked right the way through from the drawings to the team of tilers fixing! surely!! someone would have said something at some point. i find it strange??

Ooops!

Are we 100% certain that the joints aren't hidden in some way?

Anything clever and new going on there or is this something that needs fixing which is how we know they're defo not there?

That's strange I was doing that in next in Warrington on Sunday. .

There's a few makeshift silicone joints in it that look like an afterthought.
