advice on acceptable standard

[gaspode44]

Hi,

I'm having an extension built and they've just finished tiling a bathroom floor with porcelain tiles - the floor is new first floor standard timber construction - underfloor heating was installed - wire in screed system on insulation

Problem is the tiles feel very uneven underfoot - considering its a new bathroom some tile corners where they meet are very uneven with at least a 1mm difference - doesn't sound like a lot but is visible and noticeable when walking barefoot

Am I being unreasonable in asking for this to be corrected (ripped up and relaid)

Should some kind of self leveller been used on top of the heating screed?

tiles are 300x300

Rest of workmanship inc wall tiling looks good - couple of pics attached

Thanks in advance

Richard

Have you spoke to the tiler about your concerns

[Sir Ramic]

Floor looks bad from those pics.

Very poor quality on the floor......

That looks more than 1mm lips..

You will have to voice your concerns to your fixer..

floor looks very uneven, more lips than a tribe of amazonians imo.

It should look like this...... so you need to have a word with your tiler!

I'll join in too, not good looking at all.
Why are some so called tilers having issues with lips?
Not acceptable with so many good tilers out of work.

Thanks for all the quick replies glad to know I'm not being unrealistic - am meeting with the Builder in the morning to discuss - is there any standard I can quote?

What did they get wrong - trying to bed on screed which was used to cover the heating wires without self leveller having been applied?

any advice when discussing with builder (who I have to stress has been great and has a good reputation - rest of work looks good)

Thanks again

We all have tiled on uneven floors at times and still get no lips, yours is not a big floor so there is no excuse for lipping.
If your wires were in the screed then there was no call for SLC unless it was badly of level and out of shape.
