POINT 01
Whole tiled area
Show the room, wall and floor area before close details so a repairer can locate each observation.
The shower wall and floor are visible in a wide example view.

Tiling workmanship visual inspection
Show where the finish is before showing what is wrong. A moving close-up makes visible tile edges, joints and chips easier to locate for rework.
Hold to record. Keep holding while you film and speak; release to save the clip and its transcribed answer.
Four 9:16 example clips generated in Google Flow. Fictional inspection; no customer site is shown.
App-style example using Google Flow footage. The animated recording interface and gradually appearing words are scripted; no real inspection or live transcription took place.
The full visual example
Watch all four inspection points.
Each short clip shows one point in the guided route. The footage is AI-generated and the observations are scripted examples, not findings from a real inspection.
POINT 02
Adjacent tile edges
Move slowly along accessible adjacent edges under consistent light. Describe an apparent proud edge without estimating tolerance from video.
One wall-tile edge appears to sit slightly proud of its neighbour.
POINT 03
Grout joints and niche
Follow the joint across several tiles, retaining the shower niche or another fixed feature for location.
A grout joint looks uneven beside the shower niche.
POINT 04
Tile edge at threshold
Start wide on the threshold, then show the accessible tile edge closely without disturbing it.
A small chip is visible on one tile edge near the threshold.
What can a tiling workmanship visual inspection record?
Identify the room and wall or floor area. Begin with a full view, then film accessible adjacent tile edges, grout joints and a specific chip under consistent light. This is a record of visible finish only. Video does not establish waterproofing, adhesion, substrate preparation, measured lippage, compliance or cause; technical judgement needs an appropriate inspection.

A completed visual example
See the footage
in the report.
The six-page sample contains four inspection points, twelve footage stills, scripted observations and follow-up actions. The preview shows the first visual-evidence page.
Fictional sample. Footage was generated in Flow and observations are scripted; pages 3–4 contain still frames from all four clips.

How to use the record
Make the visual evidence useful.
Identify the visit
Record the asset or site, visit stage, date and inspector. Keep each clip attached to its point and note anything inaccessible.
Describe, then escalate
Say what the camera shows and where it is. Record the next action without guessing the cause or declaring a specialist result from video.

Questions, answered
Tiling workmanship visual inspection FAQs
Can the clip prove waterproofing is sound?
No. Waterproofing and concealed layers need separate evidence or testing.
Does video measure lippage?
No. It shows the apparent edge position; acceptance may require physical measurement and technical judgement.
How is this different from a floor-finish page?
This route is specific to tile installation details, including wall edges, grout and a shower threshold.
What is in the completed example?
A fictional bathroom finish record with four filmed points, stills, observations, actions and limits.
