Good Evening,

I have just had my kitchen tiled - around 40m2 and am worried about the following -

1. How level the actual floor is
2. Multiple small chips on tiles laid (I have counted 10 so far and only counted 30% of the tiles laid)
3. A few of the tiles are raised by 2mm
4. Some of the grout lines are either too small or too big (consistency), should all have been 3mm
5. Gaps between skirting and floor (only in some areas but been told this is to allow the under floor heating expansion).

We have a concrete floor with wet underfloor heating and screed on top.
The tiles were laid on top of a decoupling membrane and has been down for over a week.

Should the above points be raised ?
What steps are required to remedy the issue.
 
Q

Sounds unacceptable standards to me but does depend on what tile quality was like as well. Any photos?

There shouldn't be any chipped tiles.
Lippage should be minimal but British Standards are quite generous so you may struggle with that point.
Grout lines can vary if the tiles are not rectified or the same size, again British Standards allows a fair amount of leeway.
Having said that, regardless of what I'm working with the end result should be a happy customer.
