on his quote it said flexible adhesive.not sure which brand.ill find that out with customer.Also,you wont be surprised to know that he was hired from "my builder" ive done a check on him/googled him and nothing comes up. His price was extortionate as well taking into account how poor the prep and standard was

Sound bad, if all is true then he hasn't adhered to BS i quite a few respects.
Lippage, dot and dab, 5mm ply etc.
All wrong and will fall in court.
The grout down the sink is her word against his, not conclusive.
Awkward one too.
The builders report doesn't help matters so another report is needed from the TTA or something.

Jay,its down to poor workmanship with the court case.The builder is definately playing on the flood aspect.Do you reckon a de coupling membrane may have been beneficial with regards to protecting/waterproofing the wood

Not sure the builders report could have any weight if it's just an opinion without anything to back it up, what's he going to say, that d&d is ok?

All you need to do is compile a report that the installation is not to BS5385, do not assume anything that he might have done could have caused this and that if you have no proof.. simply base the report of how it should have been fixed and that the method used would result in a failure..

You might be asked what qualifies you to do a report though..

 

[jay]

depends on the case whats the claim for!!!!!!
better prep work would of helped but you dont have w/p rules over there but chipboard is bad if it gets wet and even a job done right will fail on that stuff

 

[Del W]

Every fault you find in your report I would back it up with a cut and paste job from either British Standards (i.e. acceptable levels of lipping, overboarding requirements) and/or some text from say the adhesive manfacturers (i.e. their recommendations of the application of adhesive... maximum depth of adhesive... primers to be used...). State the facts clearly backed up with a ton of photos highlighting each problem

I'd point them to Daves profile and say 'He made me do it'

I don't think the OP has a nice shiny green badge..
