Some Tilers

[Stef]

Currently on a job, 2 new builds & a donor house for a renovation.
In the 2 houses I've completed 4 Wetrooms , 3 bathrooms a kitchen & still to complete 150/160m2 of floor tiling.
I was meant to be doing 4 bathrooms in the renovation house but running out of time & the builder got in a local independent tile shop & tiler to complete the job.
Got a quick look at the standard of work today, shocking isn't the word, tiler isn't very quick either.
Setting out terrible, tiling terrible, prep terrible, the list goes on.
He's fixing 500x330 ceramics & this is what they are using,


Read the back of the tub & was shocked at what I saw.
Then spied this sitting,


This is the cut at the top of the widow for the header,


Time will tell if they get to finish the job.

I'm sure you will end up rectifying the work stef.

Still can't believe the pva advise from a adhesive supplier, how did he manage the cut.

 

[Sean SML Tiling]

At least he is following the instructions lol

Don't know where or who's making the adhesive for them but to have that on the back of the tubs is beyond belief.
Think he done the cut with his teeth.

I was on a job recently, i posted on here about it. A customer i was doing some geometric work in the hallway, and a plumber/tiler/electrician/builder/painter/plasterer/landscape gardner/mobile phone specialist, you get the idea. He was using the same pva, tubbed addy, but fixing 600 x 400 x 15 marble to plaster walls. This was around 6 - 8 weeks ago. Customer has now fallen out with this bodger, I have now got to go back and give them a price to rectify his work. Every dog has it's day. The sad thing is this guy is flat out busy. Go figure.
Shocking work though Stef.

It annoys the life out of me, this standard of work is terrible & they seem to keep getting the work.
The guy that owns this company wanted me to tile for him years ago & I declined his offer as money was rubbish & he had a bad rep back then but he's still in the game churning out the same rubbish.

 

[gamma38]

I don't know how these people keep getting the work. its sad really.

 

[Dougs Third Go]

also using tubbed addy on those size tiles

 

[Stef]

Same job, same rubbish,






Tried to take a video but didn't have enough storage to go right through the bathroom.

 

[dave l and l]

thats comical. surely the builder or client has a pair of eyes and will see that its a baws up.

 

[Qwerty]

Totally criminal!

 

[gamma38]

He will probably be busier than a lot of tilers as well.

I came across this lot about 8 years ago on a site in Kilwinning.
They were as rough then and the "tiler" was fixing the tiles by putting 4 dots of addy on with a filling knife, me and boss stood and watched open mouthed!
