Time's Ran Out
Went to look at a tiling issue yesterday on my day off!
Tiler (joiner/plumber/etc) did full refit - estimate was a guide final price almost double!!
Estimate of contract was 4weeks actual was 12!!
Anyway in February this tiling issue contacted me to look at a tile that was cracked/faulted and I advised he got the joiner etc back to look/repair as job only done at Xmas. Tradesperson returned and charged to repair tile!
Then yesterday on my day off as I said he contacted me again . Went to have a look and spent 1 hour discussing this job. Small cuts to corners and ceiling, darker coloured grout, poor cuts set up to wet area floor... not a tiler .
But it looks to me as though the no more ply which was fixed to all the walls has cracked on the join between 2 boards on a window wall.
The crack along 3 tiles of 600 mm each length is exactly 800mm up from the floor (the boards were long but 800 x 12mm )
Tiles are to come off and be repaired but now they will wait for Tile Giant to send someone out to look at it.
From the information I've read it seems as though No more ply do not recommend taping the joins but just using their adhesive to stick the boards together !!
My remark to issue householder is - every water resistant or cement board I have used you have to tape all joins.
Having never used NMP is this standard practice ?
I've advised issue householder to await reps call and get his tradesman back at no cost to repair said work.
