Thanks for all the feedback! I agree, it doesn't look good. I can't risk the same tiler trying again on this one, I'll definitely ask around :-)

Thanks for the feedback - I've contacted the supplier. A carpenter came round yesterday and thought it was 'definitely a manufacturing defect'

Sorry for the delay Burnerman. The damp is only in the bay - I've got some photos of the outside wall. There's some vents which are actually above floor level, which were there when I moved in a couple of months ago. Before I had the tiles laid, I got 2 deeper vents made (in the middle and...

Thanks Doggit. So you can use underlay without floating? You just nail through the underlay?

I've had encaustic tiles laid in the kitchen. Despite my instructions to keep them clean, the builders have tread a lot of dirt into them, which I'm trying to remove. It's quite possible that the tiles became dirty before they were sealed. He has tried using a floor cleaning machine which...

I recently had my kitchen renovated, in a Victorian terrace house I've just bought. A couple of weeks after painting, damp has started to show above the skirting on both the external wall (underneath the bay window) and internal wall next to it. Under the bay window: The internal wall...
