Who wants a laugh...

Would you tile this? Tap it with a hammer and it goes straight through and turns to dust and check out the cracks by the door!


Think I will be having an early day today

 

[Gazzer]

Ooops , not good !

 

[stusgsx]

I'm getting really good at finding the builders lash ups recently!

 

[White Room]

Thats such a weak mix or it's cured far to fast....

 

[Andy Allen]

find it very hard to find a new floor that a builder has done that I can just tile, there always seems to be something wrong with it..

and when you point it out to the customer they always say..'what can you do with it to make it right'....:mad2: .... gerrrrrr... get your dumb *** builder back to do it right...:incazzato:

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Then the builder says, oh the Tiler doesn't know what he's on about, its fine, he's just causing problems :mad2:

 

[stusgsx]

Andy that is EXACTLY what the customer said!
I won't be going back unless they have the lot done again which is unlikely

 

[beanz]

Throw some Ditra down, you'll be fine..













:lol:

 

[stusgsx]

The customer got home from hol today and left me a voicemail asking why there were now holes in the floor lol. He had spoken with the builder and builder of course said its fine as its been walked on for this long with no probs...SIGH
Also said its just a dusty crust on top and that they will PVA it and that will sort it! I'm yet to call them back!

 

[Marksmithtiling]

PVA the builders answer to all tiling problems:lol:

 

[stusgsx]

Just had a call to say the builder has now self levelled over it so should be fine to tile now.........

 

[Andy Allen]

that will look like a ploughed field then.....lol

 

[Ian]

Just had a call to say the builder has now self levelled over it so should be fine to tile now.........

Please get a picture! I can't wait!

 

[On one]

Just had a call to say the builder has now self levelled over it so should be fine to tile now.........

They just don't get it do they?
Probably in a worse state now than it was before

 

[stusgsx]

There's no point in me even going to have a look. Need to call them back today and try not to laugh!

 

[White Room]

What a delight, cover it over and will be fine:mad2:

 

[stusgsx]

Called them back and told them its still no good to tile but they still wanted me to do it and said they know it won't be my fault if it fails etc etc but I told them that doesn't matter and it's still my name that will look crap when people see it looking a mess. They finally said they will get another tiler in! Poor sod whoever gets it

 

[Ian]

Good move.

 

[John Benton]

Probably the best piece of work you never did!!!

 

[Andy Allen]

someone will do it, and not give a hoot...

good on you for sticking to your standers, I had a similar situation a couple of months ago, floor looked like your floor, told them I wouldn't tile it till the builder came back and put it right, need less to say I never heard from them again, as long as there are cowboy tradesmen out there, and customer that don't give a toss, its just going to keep happening...

 

[stusgsx]

It's just not worth the hassle it's so much easier to walk away from tat like this however much the customer begs!

 

[Stef]

Leave them your number.
When it lifts & starts to break up they will be back to see if you can come & get a look at it.
