Ah, my father-in-law was a plasterer, his father-in-law was a plasterer and his son was a plasterer. I wouldn't let any of them do any tiling!andre_xs said:Thanks to all. Some answers/comments in reply to your comments:
- To my knowledge, he is a plasterer by profession (and currently working as a plasterer)
- The three days work included the boxing, filling the hole in the wall were the old boiler flu went outside, and - together with an electrician - refitting/chasing one cable of the open socket box you see. According to him, it was all very fiddly time-consuming work because it's all pretty crooked (it's indeed crooked).
- I think that where the tiles are, there's no plasterwork beneath it. Tiles directly on the wall. The plasterwork is then only above the tiles (that area above is then meant to be just painted).
- Tiles have consistent size, the rest of the kitchen is fully tiled like this and it looks good
- Yes, my fault to not make a fixed price beforehand, learning from thatTall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.1 -
I tiled my parents' kitchen splashbacks as a fifteen year old novice amateur, and it looked better than this. Sorry.0

Expecting the tiles to be level when the wall is clearly not level is not realistic, having said the the job is not great for sure.
