That is poor. Looks like bad prep if any.

I just don't how they get away with it personally, if I had done a job like that I should be sacked.

Not good at all. Out of interest is your floor solid concrete or wooden suspended?

 

[John Benton]

Could be just my screen but it looks as though it has a lot of grout haze left on there as well

 

[Chalker]

Looks like a big dip in the floor.

Very poor job.

I would tell your general builder that he has ruined your floor and he needs to reimburse you for the cost to rectify it. That is crap, plain and simple.
To be fair though, why did you employ a general builder to tile? He may be a good builder but that doesn't mean he can tile, which he obviously can't.

Typical builder, I've seen many a floor like this laid by a builder who claims they can tile, poor prep prob has alot to do with but as gamma38 said he needs to reimburse you the cost for rectifying the floor to a good standard

 

[Andy Allen]

How did he fix them......did he put blobs of adhesive on the floor or spread the floor with a notched trowel...

 

[Time's Ran Out]

He is a general builder but has fitted lots of stone tile floors before. He says they are all like this, because the stone is different thicknesses.

That's all that was that was required to know!
Unfortunately it's not good.
Good luck!
