[QUOTE="gazpilot, post: 1211"] Hi newbie question here. Like most forums, you only tend to use them when you have problems. I have just purchased a new home and as an option had the Kitchen, utility, hall and cloak tiled in 30 x 30 porcelain tiles. I was told by the site foreman that the skirtings would be removed and tiled under. When we moved in the oposite had been done, the tiles had been laid and grouted up to the skirting boards and to tell the truth the job was appalling, uneven tiles, ridges, and really bad cuts in the corners. The contractor agreed with my assesment and had the floor taken up and redone (this time with the skirting off). I spoke to the guy's that did the job and they informed me that the site foreman had told them to carry on the first time and "do the best they could". Well 3 weeks of living in the lounge with no kitchen :eek: yes it took 3 weeks from start to finish, but this included 2 days of leveling with apoxy, and IMHO the job is still bad. quite a few (@20%) of the tile corners are sticking up and sharp and there is a marked feeling of tiles standing proud when you walk around the floor. Am I right to insist that the job is redone within British Standards. At the moment, with a grout of less than 6mm the difference in tile to tile height is 1.5 - 2 mm, I know this does not sound much but you can really tell, even my patio is not that bad. Anyway rabbled on for quite a while and I'm after advice as to if the job is up to standard and what to do if the contractors refuse to make right. Regards, Grant [/QUOTE]
