Does anyone who has given advice above know whether the finishing complies with BS5385 fitting standrads please?
This is what the tiler is insisting in his response to my counterclaim
BS5385 leaves a lot of scope for poor work I am afraid - for instance it allows a 1mm deviation in levels when using a 2mm spacer - a veritable door step when dealing with rectified tiles!
2mm is the minimum recommended joint, although I almost always use 1mm quite well when using porcelanosa's rectified tiles.
Must admit, I check the suitability of tiles and walls very carefully beforehand though.
People need to remember BS5385 is guidance - not law.
If you want to counter their insistance that it's all "within acceptable standards and tolerances", I'd suggest you take a tile off the wall.
If you tap them, do they sound hollow? With such poor workmanship it's likely they spot-fixed. A complete No-No.
Don't pay until you're satisfied, and in future always insist on written quotes outling EVERY detail.
