On to the grouting now!
The trav has a chipped edge affect. Earlier you suggested grouting the whole tile to stop muck build up in the holes, grooves etc. Do you suggest this even knowing the edge is chipped? If so do I cover the whole lot then 'clean out' the gaps to get a normal grout line affect? If not what do you recommend? Hope that makes sense!
The tiles are not sealed at all at the minute so am eager to get grouting done so I can get it all sealed.

Thank you and sorry DJS for the *£^ reference previously!

even if you don't grout the whole face, it will still take a bit of care sponging off to regain the edge. Might have go over when its a bit drier with a tooth brush or similar if the grout sticks in the chipped edge

Very true.
What do you suggest, normally do in this scenario? Fill the tiles with grout for cleanliness reasons, then just put the effort in on the edges?
Ta again.

The chipped edge is there to give a rustic look when grouted.. so let the grout hold to it..

Dont really know what the last 2 posts mean but thank you anyway.
Im now planning on getting the grout into the lines by 'injecting it some way in order to restrict the amount that gets on the 'top' of the tile. Maybe a piping bag of sorts! Could be fun/disastrous/brilliant/nightmare!
Wish me luck.
Thank you.

Was only joking...lol. Been busy/working late and very tired the last few days, so as a result I not been online much.

Would be nice to see a picture of the tile finish, or if you already grouted - the tiling when finished?

A long time coming!
I'm no professional, but I am happy with the results. A few issues that a pro wouldnt have made, but like I said, I aint one.

Thanks for the advice guys, all the best.

Paul.

Nice to come back and see some pics. I like the rustic look of those tiles with the chiselled edge too.
