    Raised floor tiling methods

    Hi! I have a beauty salon opening in a couple weeks. I hired the same builder to do floors, ceilings, walls, plumbing, carpentry, demolition, etc. and have a question about the quality of their work. The builder was hired to build two separate raised platforms on the main floor to support raised benches and work areas for pedicure services. The agreement was to use the same faux-marble ceramic tiling as the floor itself so that it’s just essentially a raised step. We did not discuss the builders use of metal tile trim along the edges of the raised platforms—sort of to cap the corners of the ceramic. I’m concerned this is clearly cutting corners and it is not aesthetically favourable. Considering there was no discussion regarding the use of trim, can I insist he redo it? This is for a £20K+ full shop fitting renovation after all. Also, his tile work is rather sloppy and there are significant chips along the cut lines too. Much thanks for any insight!

    Hairline ceiling crack

    Noticed a hairline crack in a bedroom ceiling, dad, very elderly, says it has been there for years. Heating not always on even in cold weather. Think polyfilla would do the job and it needs to be done, am I right. Thanks. Podge
