I have recently had a nasty experience by having to use another (recommended!!) tiler when my usual tiler was too busy. They charged £600 for about 12 sq metres of tiles, including grout and adhesive. I initially thought that this was a bit steep, but they had done an excellent job with the plastering and volunteered for the job when they heard that my tiler was unable to make it.
I am now having to call them back as the tiles have slipped in places due to having to build up the wall to be even and having different thickness tiles to deal with. This should all have been second nature to an experienced team...or so i thought!
They also left an absolutely horrific mess, which as a fellow tradesperson I find unforgiveable as they clients are trying to live in this mess. And their attitude stinks.
As a committee member for the IPHE in Kent, we are trying to get some tiling courses under way for our members, at a discount (of course) and am wondering if I should hurry this along so that I can do the tiling myself. I reckon I could have easily done a better job than these two have done.
What do ppl think? Am I asking for trouble, or were they just a bad lot???
