Public Thread!: Poor Tiling Workmanship by DIY and Rogue Traders

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

with a door way i always like to see a full tile when when i walk in to a room with 3 door ways i would take the main entrance grid out the floor from there to tile bays to work out the best balance for the room and door ways

 

[High Peak Tiling]

Lauguage you big girl! :lol:

 

[Mr T]

thats my prefference Dave... I would rather see a centred line from the doorway to the back wall and to me tiling is about making an impact as the customer comes in the room

 

[AliGage]

Who walks into a room looking at their feet??

Yes sometime/a lot of times its nice to walk into a centred layout from the door. But what if its got a WC opposite? Or another feature to the room. As Neal said. No two jobs are the same.

 

[Mr T]

No two jobs are the same mate haha... so say if your doing a bathroom floor... I know that no jobs are the same but what would you say you centre up to most of the time? Is it the room or And Object in the room... Or a doorway?

 

[EverDon Tiling]

You do what looks right experience tells you.

Poor workman ship ! This is one of the worst I've seen..... This was a frontage to a museum that has been converted into flats. Steps have been off square so ply has been dot dabbed to square off then tiles dot dabbed onto ply !!!
Residents are now left to foot bill between them....I was asked if the loose tiles could be re seated pml..:incazzato: Builders :mad2:

 

[mattle40]

That's a cracker.
Is it to be re tiled?

 

[ianflem]

Yip..it would be the only way to rectify it.

 

[John Benton]

Top quality work, why did they ever think that was going to work. It probably started to fail 1st time it rained or once the cheque had cleared. :incazzato:

Surprised somethink did'nt give way when they were walking down the steps, lawyers for you would have made a fortune.

I'll bet they dealt with the cheapest bidder though.
Always seems the same - take the cheapest quote and cry afterwards.

I've had some funny looks for taking photos in public toilets in the past, the women especially don't like it when you're doing it in their toilets :lol:

 

[afright]

I have tiled a pub ladies toilet and they kept it open I heard some sounds enough to put you of women for life,lol.
