    Pro tiler has washout the grey I grout

    As above it could be to much washing ? , or to much water added to the grout ? , poor mixing ? but as you say it's a real shame as the tiling is very good, if its soft then I'd say its a weak mixed grout . There are grout sealers that could potentially blend the colour more evenly but they will...

    Spiked roller or not ?

    Little tip don't try doing it in one go apply a thin coat use two even three let it cure fully between coats, you may need to apply a primer between coats depending on the product used and especially over ufh rushing your prep effects the project finish.

    Poor finish? My tiler thinks he has completed the job but I don’t. Opinions please

    Very poor still I think this chancer has had his day it's time to move him on pay him 50% at most then get a decent tradesman to rectify his efforts. As a example this is how it should look and your floor layer is not gonna be happy 😤.
