We had a tiler in November last year to tile the bathroom floor/wall we were renewing.
Quote he gave for the floor was if I layed the ply to the floor for him, saving him the work and me the extra cash.
Ply was screwed to the chipboard floor every 200mm. There is a slight rise at one end of the bathroom floor as one of the joists sits higher that the rest. Guy was happy enough and said he would have to pack out some of the tiles with more adhesive underneath to lift them a bit and would have to charge for another bag or two - fair enough.
(tiles are 600x600)
I've noticed over the past months cracks appear in the grout on the mostly walked on tiles and i'm sure some of the tiles move if you push down on them. The grout is now coming off in chunks along some of the grout lines.
Called to tiler out and he said it may be the floor moving or as the tiles were packed out the grout is falling in the gap so he would come back and make up a wet grout so it would flow into the gaps. assuming he will remove the old grout?
I don't think the tiler used a Bal flexible adhesive or grout first time round, where do I stand if the tiles are lifting?
Many Thanks
