i was asked by a lady 2 days ago could i come over and check her tiles, she thought that some of the tiles were loose, her tiling had been completed by a reputable tiling firm. on arriving at the destination the lady led me to her utility room..above the work tops there was 5 row of tiles high by 7ft long, 4 inch tiles uneven edge. on pressing on the tiles and tapping them with my hands i could tell the only thing holding them together was the tile trim. anyway i was able to take them off with my hands, but it wasnt an adhesion problem and no amount of primer would off made a difference. the skimcoat finish plaster,hardwall, had come away from the wall completely blown off the wall, i pointed out that this was the problem, the lady was distraught , not only was the utility room bad, the kitchen splashback was the same, the main bathroom, and the en-suite. whats going on is it a case that everything has to be rushed these days, did they not wait until the skimcoat dried out , has the the finish coat plaster been hit with frost, did they not bother to wet the sand and cement plaster before applying the hardwall. any answers.
