If its like new builds i've looked at over the last four months, (i've been house hunting and looked at loads), then it's no suprise it's rubbish, one i looked at hadent even been wiped down after grouting. I asked for some money of in one as part of the deal for NOT tiling anywhere if we bought it and told them id do it properly myself :lol:

ROFL!
Oli, I did the exact same thing recently and they phoned me back 2 weeks later with £40k off the original price, although, I don't think the reduction was just due to me doing the tiling :lol::lol:.

all new house build tiling is crap mostly ive worked on a few of them i very doubt that wimpey would come out i think there is only a year gurantee on the property

as oli said if you consider buying a new build then you could ask them not to tile it my old boss bought a house on persimmon homes and asked for it not to be tiled they werent pleased but end of the day it was his house

consider what people spend on new houses i think it is ridicoulus how rough everything is when the plot is being built

Sad state of affairs Lee mate, although we can laugh...peoples lives are badly disrupted due to poor service and the greed of the builders...I have no sympathy when builders go bust due to mis-management...but I feel for the people left in the wake....Gaz
