Bathroom help! Tiling, plastering, tanking and waterproofing

Recommended Posts

Hi,


Looking for quotes and recommendations....


Not sure which tradesperson I need for this job but we basically have water from our shower getting through the grout between the tiles and penetrating the wall beneath the tiles which is a external wall backing onto our garden.


As a result the tiles are coming away from the wall and I am worried that we will have a much larger problem to deal with if we don't deal with this now.


My father in law installed the shower and put the tiles on for us 3 years ago and used waterproof grout but as time has gone by, the grout has deteriorated causing damp patches on the outside wall. In hindsight I think he should have maybe protected the wall more maybe?


Anyway we need someone to put this right for us. The tiles will need to be removed, the wall fixed and waterproofed and the tiles put back on so that this does not happen again. The outside wall will need to be looked at also as it has the odd damp patch.


I am really not sure which tradesperson I contact but would really like someone who is experienced in this field and has done this before for a start..



We live in a Ground floor victorian conversion flat in Peckham rye.



please get in touch.


thanks

    • Yes but what's the answer, Jazzer? No government can simply walk in and fix the economy - get the bills down, grow it and reduce debt. There is no silver bullet. The public (and the press) wants everything now, everything cheaper, but with better public services and lower taxes.  In the radio and paper, all you ever hear is pundits, MPs, think tanks and economists saying what won't work, but no one seems to know what will work.  I'm genuinely interested to hear what other views people have on here, and what they think will help, or make things worse. 
    • While they struggle with economics of UK plc, collectively we all suffer as a result of their ineptitude. 
    • I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.   
    • I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.
