Just went through part of your build thread. I could not live with that. I'm also surprised the skirting went in before the tiles. When we did our old place that all went in after, same as you'd do for wooden floors. Can you post a pic of the finished edges after they've filled it? Re: Sammymac's build! - Handover booked for Thursday 20th! 1148Jun 16, 2013 3:16 pm I am thinking the skirtings are done first because they are a basic inclusion, whereas living area tiling is an add-on to your contract. I'm disappointed by that because we are also having FM do our living and hall tiling. Too late to stuff around with changing now. Surely a lot of people have them do the tiling of living areas and therefore they should take it into account and use the same tiler at the same time to achieve a better result. I would have thought it would have been more efficient and cost effective anyway.

Looks fine now. The issue with the badly cut tiles will be sorted during the week. I don't have a picture so ill have to post later in the week.
