Uneven wall - expanding foam - Tile Advice

[Jpy313]

Hi all, ive got a problem with an uneven wall in our new house, we have had a kitchen fitted with granite splashback and upstands across benches, but the wall isnt flat all walls in the house are the same), I can get a full finger down the back of an upstanding at places down to flush at the other end. I want to tile it myself, could I spray expanding foam to fill the gaps then tile from there do you think?

if its a new wall with that type of gap get your builder to sort it on the snaglist

Most tiles still wouldn't cover that gap anyway.

To be honest that is inacceptable on a new build

Have you got a new build guarantee?

Thanks for the replies, it's not a new build, but it has obviously been a heavily bodged job by the previous owners. We are over our budget for tidying the place up otherwise I would have got a plasterer in, but that would have thrown up additional issues in regards to the cooker socket wiring being too short to bring the socket forward....

Go for thick splashback tiles!

Go for thick splashback tiles!

But then they will overhang at one end and be flush at the other?

Fill the gap - paint it the colour of the upstand - and just emulsion the wall.
