went to look at a largish job last night, massive listed house, 2 bathrooms ,utility and kitchen,lovely jubbly i thought
got there to be told the builder who plastered the walls had ballsed up the tiling, vitrified tiles £15 each,in the shower area, and he wants em ripped off ,5 mteres worth
it was pretty good,let me tell you:hurray:
customer ran his finger over the ungrouted join and said ,feel that lip.
i felt hardly anything!!!! ,in the corner ,he said ,these cuts arent very straight and theres chipping........i saw a nice 2mm gap ,not perfectly uniform but nice enough to be hidden with sealant,by this time im thinking....mmmmmmmm
the clincher was when he said he wanted ufh, i thought he`s gonna be on his hands & knees feeling for minute steps, and charging me for ripping up and replacing tiles/ufh
so i did my boots and belt up tight and said, im not your man,that tilings pretty good ect......
he said so what is it , me being too fussy?
nicely i said well yes,but i dont blame u in a house like this and the cost of your tiles,advised him to google tile tolerances ect....
but im convinced ive avoided a shed load of grief there...............,steve
