You just need to look along the plinth line....:yikes:
The legs from the table give away a lot of information too about floor being unlevel such as the door handles and other lines we should assume being level.

We go back to customer for even the tiniest gap in grout, so I don't see why this tiler shouldn't want to correct this floor!
In the first place he should have paid more attention to detail and take more pride in his work.
Personally I would be fussy too if this was laid in my own home too!

All the best getting it like you had imagined! :thumbsup:
 
Update! Have had discussions with tiler over the weekend earlier in the week. He offered to lift it all and walk away bearing the full cost, though we're obviously a bit worried about the condition the floor will be left in. We also felt it the right thing to, as much for his benefit as for ours, to get some other tilers in to comment before we make a final decision about what to do. Have had one tiler round and another due this evening. The tiler who's already been says it's not a good job - looks OK if you glance across, but the more you look, the more you see wrong! He did say that because it's polished granite, it's very unforgiving, so a lot of care and attention needs to be paid to ensure a good job. He suggested going over the top with something not so troublesome! Cheers for all your help in the meantime - promise to let you have an update.
 
Please do keep us informed how this goes....and if you need a good tiler to relay just ask and i can sort you one out from here...

Rubbish, why should you change the floor you want, IMO what the tiler who told you that was really saying was "change it to something easier for me to lay".

The tiles you've chosed are unforgiving, but people all over the country have them laid perfectly well every day, you only need to look in captainslows album to see how it should look. Its hard but perfectly possible to have the floor you want laid properly!!!
