There will be tolerances on levels (as will there be on the flatness and size of the tiles) - be careful of saying he has done a rubbish job.

Have you looked at all the pics?

Yes.......I suspect no matter what anyone says against your view, you will not take on board what they say.

Hm...thing is, it's not just me that is saying it is unsatisfactory. Perhaps you should read the whole thread.

Not quite sure what you mean. In general yes there were other problems with his work/attitude.

If you mean specifically in relation to the tiling, then the problems are as described. 1. They are laid unevenly across the floor, and 2. there are gaps under both under the T&G where not skirted, and also under the skirting where skirted.

ETA: Sorry just realised you were asking if silicone had been applied between tile and wood. It was.

Imo the job looks exactly what you would expect from a multi trader....not saying all multi traders are like that before some on here jump down my throat..
So have you paid him.?...if not with hold payment till your happy.
If he thinks the job is satisfactory then he may take you to court to get payment .
You may need to get an independent survey done by the t/a and that could cost up to £1,000 !!

Unfortunately there were other problems with the job. We'll see how it pans out.

As mentioned before, A neat silicone joint between wood and tile would vastly improve things.

Also, this: "No they are not brick bond, which reminds me, he laid the tiles with the length across the threshold ie like _ rather than | which I found irritating as I always thought tiles should be laid length-ways as you enter a room" is total nonsense i'm afraid.

just saying

As stated before, there is a silicone joint between wood and tile. The pics you see are the pics with the silicone.

Not sure why you think laying tiles length ways, and not vertically across the threshold of a door to improve visual flow, is nonsense. Ask any floorer how you lay a floor.
