I agree, I always ask the customer what width they want. I even set a few tiles out with the different spacers so they can see what i'm asking. I don't think you can leave anything to chance.I had the same thing on a job I did last year I fitted a 5mm joint as the type of tile I was using I had always used that size joint. The floor took me two days to do a day and a half tiling and half a day grouting in all that time they had seen what I was doing and said nothing but as soon as the job was finished they Said they did not like the size grout joint I had used and could I change it. To be honest I was absolutely fuming but as I had not discussed the joint size with them befor I started tiling I had no option but to lift the floor and retile it using a 3 mm joint. I always ask what size joint people want now.
Not in all cases, although most of the chipped tiles (25 in all) are around the ones that have been replaced. Two tiles have susquently cracked in the last few days, ironically neither of these were problem tiles!
What has the house builder said? It's a new build right?
I'm a little confused. A new kitchen replacing exsisting? Or the kitchen going into a new build? I was always led to believe that a house builder has to present the home with sanitary and cooking facilities as part of NHBC certificate criteria.
Get some quotes to re-do the lot and approach the cowboy to foot the bill.
Did you have to pay for the download?I downloaded the BS5385-1 to 5 to check it out and I was very surprised how specific and extensive the regs are. There's a regulation about lots of things that I always thought might be down to customer taste or just the preference of the tiler or even the manufacturer etc. I glanced through some of them and I even learned a few things in the process, I now know what 'spatterdash' is for example so every day is a school day I guess.
