I've been going through the Awesome wiki but I am struggling to find a way to add a few pixels of space in between the windows in tiling mode. Is this possible without making the borders thicker?

Take a look at awesome-vain on GitHub. As these layouts may not work with Awesome 3.5, you could try using my layouts (adapted from vain's layouts): https://github.com/Stebalien/awesomewm-config

Thanks Stebalien,
Unfortunately I'm not at my home pc now to check this out but I'll definitely look at it. Could you post a screenie of the layout if possible? It would be truly appreciated

So I'm guessing this line is the culprit
theme.useless_gap_width = 10

That specifies the width of the gaps but you still need to use the custom layouts (see the top of my rc.lua and the layouts folder).

So I would need to put the following in my rc.lua
-- layouts
layouts = require("layouts")
layouts.uselesstile,
layouts.termfair,
layouts.browse,
}
And then copy your layouts directory to the appropriate place.

Not exactly. My rc.lua is confusing because it overwrites the layout's variable. While this doesn't cause any problems, it wasn't intentional. You should really have something like:
my_layouts = require("layouts")
local layouts = {
my_layouts.uselesstile,
my_layouts.termfair,
my_layouts.browse,
}
