Should rustic black slate calibrated look like this? Help?

[tommyzooom]

Sorry to make light of your situation, but I had to laugh at your floor,

Totally unacceptable tiling, even if the tiles were uncalibrated, the thin tiles should have been bedded up to suit the thick ones,
It was no tiler who laid them, and the insurance company hasn't a leg to stand on as they employed him.

Hope you get it sorted, keep us posted

Thanks for everyone's advice. We thought it looked awful. I've told them all work stops until this is fixed. I'll update with an answer.

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

The tiler can't blame the riven surface for those lips.

He must be an absolute clown.

Its so poorly laid that it should be an easy decision for the insurance company to put it right.

A lot of insurance companys use "multi traders".This guy may be a painter that does a bit of tiling.

think he might of been a butcher...

This looks like a bad DIY job, certainly not acceptable.

Oops! I thought your floor was spot on, that's why I 'liked' it, I thought you were criticising your own work, I'm having an off day. Sorry!

It has the hallmarks of the delicate touch of a blacksmith

just re read the thread,,are you sure OP that the slate they laid are callibrated?as I assumed they were uncallibrated due to them having more steppes than a russian prairie? I was gonna say that sometimes you need to knapp some faces on riven slate, but if your's is callibrated I'd say it a rip out job and start again.
