Thanks guys, murambi: I've been working on the hospital set for about 5 days now and with Maya for a little over 3 years. Still got plenty to learn!! mastone: cheers for the input, there are lready 2 bump maps and a normal map on the floor shader, I've attached an image of the hypershade network so far. I'll look into upping the specularity, perhaps making the white tiles slightly more so than the green ones. Cheers again, Mat.
