New Build - Build refuses to fix floor

I would love to have only 12mm difference. In my spare room the bed is on 5" wooden blocks at one end to roughly level it up - and even then I think it should be a little higher.
I am not saying you are OCD / going OTT OP but I just wanted to put out there that flat floors are a bit of a luxury around here haha.
5" This is crazy. Surely not a new buildToasterScheme wrote: »I thought that too. That is where the problem lies here, IMO. So the beef is with the floor installer, not the builder.
If the levelling compound isn't used you would expect all sorts of tile-to-tile problems across the span. Extreme corner cutting - of the sort that would actually take LONGER to install in the long run.
Not sure how this affects the OP's warranty though. Would have thought they had a right to expect a reasonable quality installation of a flooring system.
Apparently in this case it was the builder that took the responsibility of laying down the screed, maybe to lower the floor installation price?, in any case, I'm still waiting for Advantage to get back to me, let's see what they say.0 -
