hi all
i started a job yesterday i took the old tiles off the walls and noticed plaster had been skimmed over another lot of tiles is it safe to plaster over the tiles again or should i take the other tiles off ?
cheers howard:shades_smile:
 
For your own piece of mind i would strip it right back and start again but maybe thats just me. Least you know its 100 per cent and their not going to fall off🙂
 
As above i would strip all back to the origional wall aswell, shouldnt have been plastered on the old tiles anyway.
Start afresh then you know your job is safe
 
Howard.......Make sure you charge for this extra work mate, don't get in the habbit of doing big extras like that for nothing.
 
As far as i am aware (and i am no plasterer) it is ok to plaster on top of tiles as long as they are prep'd properly but as the other guys have said, for your own piece of mind remove them and charge accordingly 🙂
 
You never know how crap the origional tiling was,if it already had a poor bond,plastering over and then tiles ? Frought with danger,if they come off who's fault is it ? yes thats the right guess
 
Advise them to remove, if they insist that you go over the top then point out that you will not gaurente the work.... and get that in writting too mate
 
**** on TJS,put the onus on the hillman,after all if he respects you,he'll go with your pro-recommendation,if not em they dserve the they'll not want to pay for!!
