On a serious note with foil insulation. I know a guy who got zapped from it.
Insulation laid over an open junction box and had gone live. One to watch for.
 
Not my photo but posted on Twitter today.

Bull's eye! A customer wanted to sort out a squeaky floorboard … There's a combi in the house.

Thought the same, but there was a screw hole or some hole right in the middle of the board. I guess pipework went it after the hole has been made. It could be a gas pipe… Some people have no fear…

i no its not plumbing but how do people get away with this, they left the poor woman like this and also got paid half of the money. ??:32:

Some "bathroom fitter/tiler" from near me what a disgrace to say the least.
 
they are supposed to be coming back on Monday to fix it, good look to them. guess they wanted an early dart on Friday.
 
That's beyond saving. Did they stand in the doorway and throw it at the wall?
 
No words can describe that properly........looks like the site of a dirty protest.......i dont think the youngens will know what that is.

hope you don't mind if I post this on the tilers forum. Worst I've ever seen!
 
jeez it will take longer to clean off than it took in the first place! that's really really bad.
 
I hate tiling so very rarely undertake it. Yet I actually own a grout float. Turns out I should have been tipping the full bucket against the wall and letting gravity go to work, who new?

A one-armed blind man, missing has thumb and forefinger on his one and only hand, using a butter knife and scissors could have done better.
 
unbelievable expect the only way to clean them would be brick acid but who would use that indoors? only thing in my opinion would be to strip them all off and start again with new tiles a few hundred pounds wasted there..brum
 
I'm tipping they will never come back.

There's more work in cleaning the grout / glue up than doing the whole job.
 
I would want to take all that sanitary ware & dump it also. That shower tray must be ruined. I don't even dirty a shower tray & I clean it with a damp cloth & put a soft cover over it when I have to stand on it.
Strange thing about really serious jobs like that is the customers tend to be decent people who don't deserve it & wouldn't take the installer to court.
That is a great photo to show to people who are pricing around for someone to do their bathroom cheap.

I have would work a treat 25%?sprayed on them left for 2 hours and scrubbed off - will be perfect
 
No excuse for that pi$$ poor work, but where was the customer whilst this was happening? Anybody in there right mind would have put a stop to that.
 
That grouting's obviously been done by a guy in a straight jacket, its hard to know what I'm actually looking at. Its so bad it must be a wind up.
