Should rustic black slate calibrated look like this? Help?

thats a discrace. pic 4 must be 6-7 mm lip. no matter if he knew how to fix them or not he should of spotted it after a few tiles and took the time to re think the situation. if the tiles were that bad he should have spotted it and stoped before it ended up like this.

No, we were told to choose them we could choose from a couple of companies and Topps was one of the but the company who are doing all of the insurnace work had different trades coming in and one was their tiler so we had no choice over Tiler. I'm not blaming Topps in any way. The tiler laid something on the floor that meant the floor was perfectly smooth after the old tiles were picked up. We're not sure what to do now as we have registered a complaint with the insurance company as the contractors are blaming the tiles - they suggested we have something else when we chose these and said we were effectively told "we told you so" when we complained.

It's a 10mm lip. 5mm and upwards on quite a few. My 3yr old has tripped a couple of times. It's so frustrating as we thought we were nearly finished with the upheaval.

 

[Alan M]

10mm wow. maybe he was going to fit another tile on top of the lawer one to lavel it up

 

[Andy Allen]

this is the problem when every tom dick and harry thinks tiling is easy, a tiler that is used to fitting natural stone would of made a better job, even if the tiles were bad quality, if they thought they were that bad, and unable to produce an exceptable standered then they should never of laid them, and i.m.o a 10mm lip is not exceptable..

that jobs a disgrace no matter how bad the tiles are , i was going to say a blind man could do a better job , but i think a blind man did do it

i agree with everyone on here,that is terrible,i laid a 40 odd m2 topps tile 'calibrated:lol:' floor the same as these before Christmas and finished it just after.you can not get away from lippage with these tiles,there was some terrible tiles,all shapes all thickness,but that floor is disgusting

 

[Ian]

Ellington, this is what your tiler should have left you with ^^^^^^^^^

 

[martyof]

Thats shocking, feel so sorry for you....guys a gangster..

 

[Mike Mike]

That floor is absolutely outrageous. Whoever is responsible for laying that should have his hands cut off so that he can never do such disgraceful work ever again.

You have my deepest sympathies for having to go through all this upheaval and hassle just to get a simple kitchen floor tiled. Insurance company MUST insist on it being ripped out and done properly.

 

[widler]

cheers bri mate,i gotta admit,that floor is rubbish,my apprentice could of done better,infact,if he didn't he would be a ex

 

[ellington]

Hmm, how very different from our floor. We have the projects manager coming out tomorrow but he's already pre-judged it and said the tiles are just like this.

 

[Andy Allen]

show him widlers floor, same tiles......very diffrent outcome..

Poppycock and utter tosh.

Show him the above photos and tell him that this is how a real tiler works.

You're being too harsh on yourself, either way, it's a million times better than the floor the OP has been left with.
