Were all the old tiles still attached when you got there? If so, it was remarkable.

looks like the sort of fun i am gonna be having soon when i start my bathroom
have taken a few tiles off to see how bad it is, they are being held on with about half inch of adhesive
hopefully the rest will come off as easy as the first few, otherwise its kango time,lol

Was there a problem before you started work ? If not what is the problem ?

There are builders & tilers that still do this, dont understand why thou, it's not cheaper or quicker. Shody is what it is.

I've finally made a start on my bathroom floor, tiles are 413mm square Mapisa ceramic. The suction is amazing when I have to lift one, because there isn't enough Proflex adhesive underneath. Lippage is worse than I wanted, getting the water/powder proportions exactly right is not easy for me, too wet, and the tiles slide and settle. I need an assistant to mix, and clean tools for me. Ah, well.

It worrying, as unless you were browsing forums like this, most people might suspect that something was not quite right but not confident to question the tilers

I didn't know that it wasn't recommended to tile straight onto boards before I joined here

In fact in my brothers house he has gone for the top notch tiles in the kitchen and 5 have broken so far. My Dad was there at the time and questioned the tiler but was told to "leave it to the pros".
