Hi all,
I have just had someone tile my front path but to me it looks a little odd, but no idea if this is acceptable and I'm being too fussy. They were laid 4 days ago and for some reason they are still lifting super easy, I am not sure why. If anyone can advise it would be hugely appreciated.
On the off chance, does anyone on the forums have access to BS5385 or know if there is anyway I could access? I am trying to access through local/national libraries without success. Renting them from BSI is well above my paygrade! Any help would be appreciated.

I emailed the TTA regarding a tile supplied by a TTA registered retailer, although this "issue" is common for many tiles and relates to nominal sizing.
The nominal size is only a guideline. Size "in name only" for identification purposes. The size a tile is advertised as, but due to calibres...

How does this work then ?
You owe tax man and he wants it by a certain date...if you are owed a rebate you get it when they feel like it ??
