Public Thread!: Poor Tiling Workmanship by DIY and Rogue Traders

[Bubblecraft]

Yikes. That's nasty. Did you manage to salvage the UFH with a SLC or was it ruined?

 

[Ian]

Ruined mate, saved the tiles as they weren't attached! The UFH was a loss.

Feel bad for the customer. How long we're they down for?

 

[Ian]

They were put down in 2008, customer bought the house last March, I found the house on Zoopla and they paid 950k for it, there is approx 300 m2 of tiling all fitted like this, it's only a matter of time before it all fails.

At least you've got your foot in the door for any future work

Was there any point even mixing up adhesive? Lol

 

[Tony73]

no using trowel under vanity unit , toilet.... just little dots of adhesive :mad2:. Cheap ply screwed on few screws (drywall screws), some floor boards not fixed. So i ripped everything off, and started again
