    USA Advice on work done please

    Not a good job at all, with a gap like that under the units the tile should finish up to the underside of the cabinet, poor and lazy setting out I'm afraid. Hopefully they didn't charge you much for it.

    Preferred method of prep for chip board?

    Please contribute to this thread if you have any new information or can even just reiterate what has been said already. :) Cement boards, you want to ensure you have a solid base, fix any bounce or movement on your chipboard if you have any before you lay down your cement boards.

    Lippage systems, Layout and Spacers

    Looks like you've taken your eye off the ball mate, always check and make sure you're keeping all tiles square to your setting out line when tightening clips up, flat is what you want but also for all grout lines to line up đź‘Ť

    Tanking?

    It's extra peace of mind but water should not get through the tiled installation if done properly even without tanking it first.

    Can I use silicon to seal grout?

    22mm No More Ply or ply and cement board

    Can you tell me if this tiling looks okay?

    Poor decision by the tiler to carry on the install, it usually warns you on the box not to lay them brick bond or what you can do is use a levelling system which will prevent lippage. Certain lighting can make these situations look a lot worse also but blame is on the tiler here and you are...

    My 1st Job Tilling over different floors (membrane/cement boards) + other questions...

    If you are a newbie to tiling then I would use clips, plank tiles can be bowed so you're probably best. Read the instructions on the box as it might state not to lay them in a half bond. Use slow set flexible adhesive and minimum 10mm trowel
