Right your waffling about other things now, other jobs and the customers tile and grout preferences.
The photos don't really show a lot

I recently had a kitchen, bathrooms and the enterance hall fitted with 120x30 cms tiles. As you can imagine I am not best pleased with the result. Am i wrong to be unhappy about this tiling job or am I too picky? Apparently tiles are to be blamed for everything as they were curved. I can feel how lippy tiles are even when wearing my shoes. Some tiles are tilted from left to right & there is no consistency in a grout colour even around the same tile. I am also not happy with the gaps between wooden floors and the tiles and the fact that tiles downstairs floor is not levelled up (2cm difference), however this is the best that could have been done?

I would appreciate some feedback from the experts in this forum.

Dependent on type of wooden flooring you need to leave an expansion around 10mm, a colour match threshold will bridge that gap and the height difference

Thanks for your replies guys.

House is a new built. There was no prep as far as I know. Tiles were laid straight on the concrete floor and adhesive

See few other pics.

Where were the tiles from and did you supply them?

If you have a couple of spares can you lay them together face to face and see how bowed they are.

I don’t think it’s all that bad to be fair to the tiler.

I supplied the tiles for them. What i am struggling to believe is that everything is down to the curved tiles....

If your floor was 20mm out.....look at your(new build) builder,not your tiler.
If your tiler had levelled the floor it most likely would have caused problems elsewhere.....unable to get your washing machine back in,not being able to shut the front door,etc,etc.
