Here are tiles

The tiles do have a bit of a bow in them which will exasperate the lippage problem, particularly with half bond.
That said, the preparation doesn't appear too thorough.
 
Tiles slightly dip in each corner, so you would probably get a slight lip , but most are not slight lips.
They have tiled on ply on the window wall, I can’t see any primer on the old sand lime walls either, unless it was done after .
Bit ropey really
 
first thing i do is check the quality of the tiles they look a bit on the rubbish side to me and if you start with rubbish the job ends up rubbish. the saying cant make a silk purse with a pigs ear comes to mind
 
That looks horrendous, maybe there is a slight bow in the tile but still, looking at that I’d say they didn’t even bother checking the walls with a straight edge and just followed the walls with a 6mm serration ......lips everywhere, grouting is so rough, i would condemn that and not pay....( why should you have to pay for a mess like that!.)..rushed, poor workmanship imho......needs taking down and start from scratch with correct preparation and correct practice.....NOT GOOD!.....NOT GOOD AT ALL.......people doing shoddy work like this should be kicked out of this trade.....I see it all the time it’s shocking!......was it done by a Tiler or multitrader?
