poorly laid floor - help with dispute!
we are in dispute with our builders as the floor has been laid badly. the tiles lifted along the threshold of three doorways. the tiles were lifted and a matting put down. then before the floor was replaced (1 week before) BCT who were supplying the tiles (because they were also found to be defective) went into administration. the builder is now refusing to replace the floor - except with a £2/tile tile.
we are concerned that the fault also lay the floor incorrectly. we have another area that has cracked in a doorway and sounds hollow underneath.
despite this the builder maintains floor is not failing. they will only replace with the closest match on the threshold area. if they replace the floor it's with a really cheap tile.
the house was purchased for £380,000 therefore a £2 tile is not acceptable.
I have attached some photos - which I think shows gaps in the grout under the tile that is still fixed

4 years agoPossibly caused by movement of the floor under the tiles? What are the tiles made of, and what is the sub floor underneath made of - concrete, wooden floorboards?
Just that I had ceramic tiles laid over a mesh over floorboards which the tiler said was fine. Over time the tiles started to crack in places and the grouting began to crumble. The tiler had basically lied to me suggesting mesh would keep the floor level! When we re-did the kitchen we had the floor boarded and porcelain tiles on top. Been down 9 years and no problems whatsoever since then.
