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

    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
    • I'd quit this thread, let those who just want to slag Labour off have their own thread.  Your views on the economy are worth debating.  I'm just stunned how there wasn't this level of noise with the last government.  I could try to get some dirt on Badenoch but she is pointless  Whilst I am not a fan of the Daily Mirror at least there is some respite from Labour bashing. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/grenfell-hillsborough-families-make-powerful-36175862 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/nigel-farage-facing-parliamentary-investigation-36188612
