What a rough as job..

[DHTiling]

That is bad how do these "tilers" get work. o i know they under cut all the good lads by that much they get the job then run for the hills

It's not far from you

 

[Daveshadowman]

This one is from Richmond.

DAVE its a shame that we cant name these so call tilers like they do on rouge traders on tv . we could have a black list and pictures of the so called work. for customers to look at .over the years i have seen a lot of this and think to myself that these cowboys are taking work form us and money from hard work people that put there trust in them to do a good job. ahhhhhhhh it makes me MAD...

 

[Andrew Case]

Thats a good idea. It would have to be qualified i.e someone had visited and taken photos etc, rather than just going on the say of a disgruntled customer. But if it was proven to be a dodgy job by a dodgy tradesman, then we could have a list here. Doesnt have to be in the general forum. That way you can protect yourself against a lawsuit for defamation or something.

 

[paul flight]

these rouge traders would never sue anyone coz if it did go to court it would easerly be proven that they are rubbish and taking money for substandard work. if cost go against you in court it would cost tens of thousands which they would have to pay .. they would run for the hilsl like they do once there paid.

Alan from Gyvlon has been out today and he too has said it is the worst he has ever come across..

 

[Andrew Case]

Then a name and shame starts to really look appealing

The thing with these jobs I can never understand is how they're so bad. Surely if a tile is out of line you simply put it in line and pop a spacer in to keep it there. And if you've took the spacer out to fit an oversized cut in then you take a bit off the cut. I know plenty of rough tilers who don't take much pride in their work but even their work is passable, if not great. Those pictures have to be the work of someone who's never actually laid a tile or done any type of manual work whatsoever. In fact, I'd say that someone with zero experience in tiling could produce a better result than that by the end of the 110 metres.

Even that £8pm job I posted about a while back looked like some of Phil Hobson's work compared to this job. :lol:

Surely,must be worthy of some kind of award,that!
Wouldn't even trust him on 6x6 splashbacks!

 

[Ajax123]

To say it wasn't a pretty job would be an understatement.

 

[John Benton]

Was the prep of the floor bad as well or just the tiling Alan?

Well, what can i say.. i recommended Timeless john to do this this re-tile.. got an email yesterday to say that all tiles are up and she has chosen a tiler to do the job who did her son's bathroom.. and i know him..

to tell it as it is.. he is ruff as hell.. he knows naff all about anhydrite screeds and intends to (informed by CTD lads) lay Dural CI++ loose on the floor and then SLC over it to hold it down... then tile onto that.. FFS do people never learn.. i am so pee'd off that i spent time to go and see the job and then do a report and recommend a bloody cracking tiler , too be told she is employing another cowboy ruff *** git.. i was going to tell her this tiler is bad but then i thought ********.. leave them too it.. i have tried..and was ignored..

Ah well you will be hearing back from them in a few months then TJ might get the job.

 

[AliGage]
