It must be bad if you can feel them under feet with shoes on do you have spare tiles that you can put together to see if they were different thickness was the tiler from Kilsyth

Aye it is bad. Yes he’s from here. Came highly recommend too which makes it even more puzzling as to why this job is such a mess.
yeah done that with tiles & measured them too. No difference I can see with the eye. Contacted who I bought them off & they confirmed they are the same sizes.

A think a no him without naming names the thing is a lot of people think he’s a good tiler but he has probly now done more bad jobs than good ones but still gets work

That’s grim. There certainly weren’t any warning signs of what was about to happen. Even showed him the bathrooms & spoke about doing them next once the kitchen was done.

A lot of trades now have Facebook pages and my builder feed back could you not leave a message on that if he has one to warn others a no it’s not helping your case rite enough if it was my house a would be rite to his door for my money back 😡😡

If these are Topps Starluxe then their spec for fixing these tiles is Bal PTB fibre plus with admix and they are a resin quartz. I'm doubting the admix was used here though.

Yeah that will be getting done. Had him round the house & he offered us our £ back & left. Expecting it through the door the next day & nothing. Gave him a few days then contacted him & he said there will be no £ as that would be him admitting it’s a bad job. Hence why it’s now heading to the small claims

Can only remember there was a Bal tub I took to the skip after the job was done.
I feel the floor is solid & have no concerns that it would move or break up. Seems to be stuck down well. Only concern is the volume of lippage everywhere.

I'm less Inclined to believing it was a size issue of the different coloured tiles. It changes per image to the black being higher and then the white being higher and this is also shown in the video clip. I'm not saying they are the exact same thickness to the mm but if it was the case it would consistently be one colour higher than the other all over surely?

To be honest I wouldn't hung up about what adhesive was used as in the end to resolve it , it has to come up so does it really matter .

I agree.

A couldn’t see the video a was just going on the pictures and the white tiles seem lower than the black ones that’s why a was saying that it mite be the different coloured once

FYI if these were Topps Starluxe range you should have had zero issues with size differences. 37sqm done and all were equal thickness 👍

Wow! That looks amazing. Not 100% sure what they are called, will have to check the invoice. That’s what I should have on my floor. Did you do this job?

It's installer error , we used to fix given slate years ago which would vary in thickness between one end and the other and for the most part it was better than your floor
