[QUOTE="Reggiethethird, post: 880494"] So, the general consensus seems to be that I'm not being overly picky. It was suggested that I give the contractor the opportunity to rectify at his expense, which they are doing now, if this turns out even worse, which is my gut feeling at the moment, we will have to make a decision on getting a professional in. With hindsight we should have delayed our kitchen install and ripped and replaced. We have been without a kitchen now for nearly 5 months and delayed the install twice already. I feel we went ahead almost out of desperation. We are genuinely gutted about this floor. To answer some questions. The floor is approx 55m2. We had 12 bags of 25kg adhesive originally and ended up ordering another 10 bags. The adhesive has been laid thick on tile and floor. No substrate has been used, tiles laid directly on concrete screed. Our kitchen installer had to adjust the island as they noted a 6mm deviation covering 1.5m on the tiles. Regarding the comment about doing our home work, that's fair and one of the main reasons we wanted to work with a contractor we trusted. We spent a year working through detailed quotations to select someone reputable. Apart from the tiling most other trades have been decent. This is the first renovation project I have done and with hindsight I would need to vet every trade... I stupidly assumed if I was paying for a ceramic floor to be laid, it would be installed by a tiler.... Your comments and suggestions are all much appreciated. I'll update with pics after the remedial work is finished. [/QUOTE]
