Hi
I've just had work completed to my bathroom, and to say the least I am extremely disappointed with the tiling work carried out by my contractor. He says he's done a good job, his mate says he's done a good job, but the manager at my local Topps Tiles grimaced at the photographs of the work, and other people have said it's not at all good.
I want a report that is unbiased and will look at the work and tell me whether it's good, bad, or whatever as I believe there will be legal action involved.
Is there anyone local to me (in North Dorset) who can carry out such work please.

yep, its rough.
Lazy grouting and no silicone to tidy-up the corners..
The silicone hadn't been done when I called a stop to it. From the instruction videos on YouTube there shouldn't be any grout in the joint between the wall and the floor, but it's full of it. He's not cleaned up in preparation for silicone, and his attitude seemed to be that the silicone would cover up any shortcomings. I paid Topps Tiles £ 3,000 for wall tiles, floor tiles, mosaic tiles adhesive, grout and sealant. Frankly I expect to see value to the tune of that £ 3,000 plus professional finishing. If I wanted a poor, I could have done it myself (although I believe the result would have been superior, even though it would have taken longer).
