Advice Please - Is This Tiling Acceptable?

[ChiversTiling]

To be honest it's not the best, setting out is wrong and and some of the tiles looks like they have dropped here and there that's why grout lines don't look even in some places, it's all about setting out how it's gonna look when finished, in the corners it should wrapped round like it still a full tile

He has just told me that the reason some of the tiles are not straight is because the wall is bent ........

That's up to you. But as for the setting out, when you tile brick bond if you centre a wall and just start tiling it's pot luck what cuts you end up with.
In this case if the centre point had been moved over a 1/4 the length of the tile you would have bigger and symmetrical cuts but on alternating rows.

Why didn't he make the wall straight first then, it's easier to check before hand than after.

Annoys me how poor the finish looks and I'm not knowledgable about the trade or skilled in it, so god knows what you professionals must think. I appreciate the replies.

Hi Dan he was recommended by a friend whom he did painting and decorating for.

So you didn't check any references or anything then?

I'd say as a customer you're part to blame.

If people keep employing people who can't tile, they'll keep thinking they can tile and carry on charging for it.

Deja vu Dan. Just read the same question on another post. Shame you have to keep asking it.
Javeiro this is poor quality tiling and the setting out is even worse. 🙁

Yeah, any my suspicions were correct I think he isn't a tiler.
