Hi,
I’m having somevictorian tiles laid down our front path and up the front door and have seen that the tiles don’t go flush with the wall. I would say there between a 10 to 20mm gap between wall and tiles. The builder says that the wall isn’t straight which it probably isn’t but I’ve raised the point that even if it isn’t straight, why is there such a gap (>10mm) between the wall and tiles when against the opposite wall, the tiles are fully butted up. Am I complaining about nothing? The spacer is probably 20mm in length for scale. They haven’t started grouting but he’s said it will look better when grouted and that it can’t be perfect as it’s an old house.

Thanks!
