[QUOTE="Steve01, post: 921535, member: 51371"] All of Harry’s advice was followed and I went through it with the tiler and insisted they do this despite them suggesting skipping some steps I can assure you no corners being cut Before the job started the builder was going to put down SLC which would have cost me £250 more and I already paid the builder to buy materials - but the tiler came and said the concrete floor was fine and he could prime the floor and lay the boards and self level after - I asked him to wait a day for the builder to self level but he insisted with his 20 years experience it was fine as is and maybe he was right The step that was missed was the slc on the concrete floor at the insistence of the tiler So please don’t blame my cost cutting as I actually went for one of the higher quotes and have specified all of the premium materials with no expense spared - for me quality is paramount ! I blame shoddy tradesmen claiming they know how to do the work but don’t and me having to do my research in advance due to the inconsistent and differing approaches offered by apparent ‘professionally qualified’ tradesmen Anyway I have one of the other Tiler’s who initially quoted me to give another opinion and then will decide what to do As it stands there are a few spots like this which as I said are isolated and with the tiles laid should resolve the problem so will see what the other Tiler says and decide what to do I am probably being overly cautious and I am sure that this is Absolutely fine - was looking for some similar stories or experiences but fine if there aren’t and i can understand it’s hard to give advice without seeing it On a separate note I did speak to a friends tiler who is very good and hence booked out for 6 months which is why I couldn’t use him - he has done a lot of UFH and he said the hollow sounds are normal as the XPs foam type board is very thin and almost hollow- he said this will resolve once the tiles are fitted Thanks again [/QUOTE]
