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

Don't know if it's been said but you can't tile on bonding

He actually told me that the tiles would not bond as good on new plaster, so better without. Strange one, that. Yet he goes ahead and tiles on plaster. (new or old, plaster is the same to me 😀)

He knows Andy. I gave him a test area to redo to see how his work panned out and it was still poor. I could not honestly expect to believe he is capable of fixing the whole room if he cannot fix a small area which needed doing. It was all I could do to see how he handles a small area before I would consider letting him loose on the rest of it. So he is pretty much kicked off. Inspectors will be visiting to see his work and I am sure things will be rectified in the right way.

Inspectors? Does the tiler work for a firm?

When the guys come around from the tiling company keep it on point . Dont start saying he was ten minutes late one day or he didnt shave before he cane to work ir he is a messy worker it just dilutes the fact you are not happy with the work . Keep it on the tiling everything else doesn't matter .
