[QUOTE="Old Mod, post: 847472"] Your tilers are not being ripped to shreads, their ability is being questioned, there's a difference. You have come on to a professional tiling forum, not Yell. Whilst it's not unreasonable for you to believe that this would be the ideal place to source such a company, as you have found out, the practice of getting a separate company to level your floor first is deemed highly unusual by many professionals. We have some of the best tiling professionals in the country on here, and you've been talking to some of them. So from our perspective, it seems a little odd, and from what I've read so far, I'd say these members were more looking out for you, rather than "Ripping them to shreads" as you put it. Whilst I could agree they could be construed as negative comments, in reality they're not. They're actually sound opinions, in the most part. From my point of view, for what it's worth, it means one of two things; 1. That they're not capable of such a task, which isn't acceptable if they're being charged with laying extra large format tiles. As a professional fitter of this type of product, you must be able to do the job from very start, to the very finish. This is what allows you the privilege of charging special rates to undertake a project of this nature. 2. They just can't be bothered with the hassle and just want a fast buck. This doesn't exactly install confidence either. These materials incurr a high investment in to a home, and I'm sure you only want it doing once. It would make me question their morals as professionals. What sort of aftercare would you receive in the event of a problem? You said earlier; To be honest, if they appreciate to what standard your floor needs to be, I personally think it's a pretty safe bet that they should be more than capable of carrying out this task. Unless of course they're on a tight schedule and that they're either using delaying tactics, or they're gonna try rush it in between two jobs, and they just want to take the cream! I personally think none of those scenarios are acceptable. But as always, it's only an opinion, and as we're all painfully aware, we all have one. That notwithstanding, as John mentioned, this doesn't address the original post from CheshireChap, And I'm sure by now he is very aware of our opinions, So if any one can help with a suggestion,it'd be appreciated.
