We had a floor laid by our builder who said he could do it. We supplied very expensive limestone tiles which he's made a really bad job of (see photos). There are uneven gaps on every tile, even though he claimed to be using 5mm spacers, the level of each tile is different, he's even laid on small tile upside-down and the tile nearest the step has so many gaps in the adhesive bed that I can slide a kitchen knife under it. To cut a long story short: we have suggested to him that he's made a bad job and he should pay for the materials including tiles, grout and adhesive and also his fitting fee, to which he's said no and that he's done the work to the best of his ability. I think I should take him to court as he won't budge and we are getting nowhere. I haven't mentioned the fact that the tiles are cracking due to underfloor heating, he's blaming me for not supplying him with an anti fracture mat, but that's another sorry story altogether.
Thoughts greatly appreciated.
