top row of tiles leave uneven gap by ceiling - TilersForums.com

Could well be - but without the age of the property it could also be the character of the building.
Why are tilers sounding more like plumbers every day - prepared to criticise other 'tilers' work without seeing or understanding the background to 'unregistered/guest' points of interest.

It makes me chuckle the way tilers winge about plumbers on here.

You guys must have met some pretty rotten plumbers.

But I understand as I have met some pretty rotten tilers.

As a building contractor I have come across alot of new builds, conversions that have had terrible run out on the ceilings, this is definatley not uncommon.
However, when tiling such a room with said ceiling as suggested by earlier posters the tiles should be gauged ( setout ) to accomodate the deviation within the room...tis simples!
As also said by previous posters we need pictures of the area in question, maybe a picture of a nib or window, which has been tiled; we can then gauge the quality and competency of said tiler by looking at the way in which he/she has approached the setout etc.
One must also remember that IF the room was so out of plumb/level etc, then it would have been prudent to discuss the tile choice and/or remedies before carrying out the tiling.

OK i'm back & registered with photos... i'm glad some of you have had a chuckle :smilewinkgrin:

have been looking online for solutions for some sort of coving or trim / edging that might not look too bad. Do you think this sort of thing would work? The website says it would be suitable for bathrooms... i know it says skirting board but could do job maybe?
