Just tiled a kitchen splash back in a 1 year old house built by a popular company.
Well I was looking at the tiled floor and spotted that previous tiler has left spacers in the floor and tried grouting over them??
Must have been on price work

When I saw the brick slips I thought WTF! Then yesterday they painted them so perhaps that's the look they were after.
So I looked at 2 of the 3 bathrooms they've had done and again WTF!
Now this is 2 streets away from the Thames in a £2-3 million semi detached property under refurbishment.
What is our industry coming to!

You get for what you pay. The job probably it is done by the builder cheap and .

Down here nothing is cheap that's why the client brought his own trusted tradesmen in from Nottingham. Trusted in what? Because it isn't in the building trade that's for sure.
A further point of interest is the back kitchen it's been in over a week and a guy came down from Nottingham to fix a few extra units so it could be templated for Corian!! I'll show the 'kitchen' as it stands today. No roof, no floor, no f...ing clue!
