    blue pearl granite tiles arent cheap over £50 per m2 normally, has the customer paid this chancer?
    please do not use the term TILER when refering to the person who did this work as he clearly is no TILER ,there should be a law protecting consumers from such people , Imo its criminal damage what this person has done to the materials and fraud if he claims to be a TILER
