I've had some tiling done in a new bathroom. The guy who did it has worked for me before although last time he subbed the tiling out to a proper tiler. This time he's done it himself.
The problem is that the tiles are distinctly uneven, some higher than others and not level. Overall a pretty poor job I think.
The old floor had been taken up and re-boarded and ply laid.
I've tried to tackle him on this and he says:
"I'm sorry you feel the tiling standard is poor, if it is not level this will be down to floor joists being uneven and even with replacing floor and plying this will not correct the dip unless major alterations are made to the sub floor."
I think this is nonsense as when I've tiled in the past I've used different amounts of adhesive to level out any problems with the thickness of the tiles or "blemishes" in the substrate. Remember this was a new floor the tiles were being laid on and it's not a question of slope, just uneven lay.
So, who is right, me or the plumber?
Thanks
