The labour costs alone were £2500!!! :yikes:

And about the same for NoNails looking at that - they would probably had more joy using Nails.

How do these people get away with it.

I've just heard via a customer of mine who recommended me to their friends to do a bathroom. I couldn't fit it in when they wanted, while away on holiday, so i didn't get the job. They got someone in who could start straightaway and guess what. The floor is lifting and cracking already after 3 months (tiles directly onto chipboard) and the walls leave a lot to be desired apparently.

If they'd have have waited 6 weeks I could have done it, now it's more than likely going to have to be ripped out. Can they get hold of the tiler now. Can they hell!!!!

That's worse than most of the cowboys I quote against - at least they're cheap and do a crap job so more fool the customers.
But to charge proper rates and turn out junk like that is a mickey take to proper tilers and customers alike.

I'm lost for words after seeing the pictures.

But, very difficult to be sympathetic. I copied this line of text from a post on the first page: REMOVED and pasted it into google. Found them on the first page. There website says absolutely nothing about tiling. They're heating engineers.

Have a look at this Ali

Doesn't it just frighten the life out of you they actually advertise that they tile walls and floors!!!

And the fact that they are on Ratedpeople.com

I bet Phil Spencer is hanging his head in shame :lol:
