Hello,

I need to inspect a balcony soon that I am not satisfied with. Could someone tell me if the installation method used has to be accepted as is, or if it is not professionally done?




Interior floor with grey tiles and glass railing.


Grey square terrace tiles on balcony with railing in the background.

The tiler was apparently paid by the hour and likes to cut tiles.
If that was intentional, good work. If the site manager instructed him to do it that way, then you’re out of luck.

I would have it redone, if necessary at your own expense, with a different tiler. A balcony doesn’t cost a fortune. In any case, I would say it’s not worth a dispute.

THIS IS NOT PROFESSIONAL. Goodness, this is unacceptable. Okay, it seems to be installed neatly, but it should not be accepted like this. There is definitely something that can be done, although you probably won’t get everything redone. However, the tiler should admit the mistake.

Isn't this unprofessional?

.. what exactly is unprofessional about it? The area to be tiled is not squared, so tiles will inevitably have to be cut ...

Makes sense. But definitely not like that. It should have been done much more neatly. And: especially use larger tiles. My advice to the homeowner: flat tiles on top. Although I’m not sure if this is an outdoor area or not...

... it can certainly be done better and more nicely... but we don’t know the local conditions, the specifications (LV), or the contract...
