[QUOTE="Richard Nessbert, post: 915600"] Hi all, Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I'm really stuck with what direction to go next. To cut a long story short, we moved in to a new build house 8 years ago. When we purchased the house, we knew the ground floor tiles needed to be replaced as the tiles had not stuck to the floor. Before the second lot of tiles where laid, we had various tilers and even the area director for mapei come and look. However after a year the tiles started to come up again, in the main walkway. We just lives with them that way, until now. We have just had an extension so the ground floor needs to be relaid again. The problem we have is no tiler seems to be able to identify what the problem is and therefore won't guarantee their work. What I know... The floor is a Liquid self leveling screed not the cement type and we have a water based underfloor hearing system throughout the ground floor. When the floor was tiled the second time, I was told he bonded the floor and used Mapei Flexible adhesive..we paid him £30sm to lay it as he seemed highly recommended. Now... We believed for a longtime the problem the second time was not the adhesive or way it was laid, but the choice of tiles. We went with Quartz, as no one mentioned the lack of suitability to underfloor heating. However I have just taken one tile up and none of the adhesive has stuck to the floor.. Its all on the tile, which makes me think the tile wasn't the problem. I have read hundreds of articles and have multiple tilers look, but they all give different answers and none say they are 100% sure. So the question to the faithful here is, has anyone come across this before and can anything be done to stop it happening in the future. I have attached some photos to help. Also I'm in newport South Wales if anyone wants to take the job on.. Its around 40sm area. Thanks for any advice [ATTACH]100761[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]100762[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]100763[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]100764[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]100765[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]100766[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
