Poor natural slate flooring! - Tile Advice

[qualitywork]

I probably would have laid it differently. I always grade the slate into 3 piles thick, medium, thin and then start with the thickest. I never use spacers with slate but go with a line and would go minimum 4 mm joints. Any joints that are too tight, I run the grinder down them to make them more uniform.
As we all know, slate always comes in different sizes.
More care should have been taken to grade the slate to similar thicknesses.
Good luck.
