Hi All,
our builder has tiled straight onto the chipboard, and I know that he would of more than likely just used annualar nails to put these down. End result - we now have cracking grout and suspect it wont be long until we have tiles start coming up.
I know that you are supposed to put plyboard down - I done it in my last house, but what I am looking for is some definitive source of "recommended practice" for the trade to say about not laying tiles this way by next Wednesday (NHBC coming round (again!!))
We have 1 Bathroom and 2 en-suites that has has done this in (one en-suite floor has dropped by over 10mm in the doorway between it and the bedroom) and I dont fancy ripping them all up and doing it again myself properly
I have also found out that the toilets are just Mastiked to the tiles with no screws securing them down. This means that I will have a hell of a job removing the toilet and would more than likely end up breaking it trying to get it up!!! Again, any pointers on this would also be appreciated.
Cheers
