Whats the name of those tiles?
I laid them on a job last year, they are good to work with.
No excuses from the "Tiler" i use that phrase in the loosest of terms.
We seem to all be satisfied that the work is nowhere near good enough. Now you need to know what to do from here. All things being fair you should give him a chance to put his work right but in order to do that he would have to rip up the entire floor, then the tiles,adhesive,UFH and the laytex would have been ruined and wasted. No good just kicking him out as it is going to cost you a heap in materials.
You defiantly need to have words with him when he comes back and show him how bad it is.
I will speak with him in the morning and tell him -
a) 4 x tiles will need to be pulled up and replaced at his exspense (tiles & adhesive) even though the deal is that i supply materials
b) I will not require his services for the wall tiles
C) I will pay him the lump sum price for the FULL JOB (less replacement floor tiles & extra adhesive) as agreed if he fully rectifies my floor.
This is a huge comprimse on my account because the reality is i can't afford the time or MONEY (1K plus on tiles) to rip it all up and start again. Ironically i got this guy in on a recommendation from a very very good carpenter. Whats more frustrating is if you look at my old posts, i had problems laying my first tiles and decided to get someone in to do a better job but this work is no better and he has been doing it albeit badly for 20 yrs!
I don't doubt for a minute that you guys are good at what you do, but it doesnt seem very easy to find a tiler thats up to the standard expected.
It does, could you answer my above post regarding floor prep. I dont want you to go through all that and then the floor fail in 3 months time anyway.
This is so horrid to see and it boils our blood that people like this are still trading. There are amazingly good tilers out there but they are outnumbered by these bloody idiots Im afraid.

a level has been nowhere near that floor! he has just stuck them down!! See this brings me to another point, some so called tilers think because they can mix some adhesive, comb it on the floor, stck i a tile to it then it makes them a tiler!! what the hell happened to using levels, taking some pride! seeing the look on the customers face when you achieve your nearest attempt at perfection??? I would not sleep if i done that work with such a nice tile!! :-(((((
Job posted on here but no responses!
I remember seeing something but can't find it in 'looking for a tiler' section, so it must have been in one of your posts. Thought it had a number of views and assumed you'd got sorted.
It's so very disappointing when the work is not to the standard you requested and it certainly leaves a difficult situation to be resolved. No doubt by now 10-00am you've had your tiler round and a decision has been made. Hopefully it is amicable and you will be looking for a new start. Good luck and you can always PM tilers local to you for costings and see their work on their albums in Tilers Forum.
I'm on tenterhooks, what was the outcome actionjackson?
