Hi
We have just had our hallway floor tiled. I am very happy with the tiling itself and paid the tiler when he left late on Sunday.
However on closer inspection the next day I realised that there are gaps along most of the edges (ie, where the tiles meet the skirting board). In a few places they are filled with grout but in general there is just a gap.
Please can you advise whether these gaps ought to have been filled with grout, or with something else (?caulk, silicon?) and whether the tiler ought to have done this before he left? The grout is grey but the skirting board is white, in case this is relevant.
He did a good job so I'm happy to finish this myself if it's easy to do, I just don't know what ought to be there. I'm pretty sure there shouldn't be a gap though!
Thanks in advance for your help
