Trim issue - opinions please

Just messy grouting , loosen face plate and it should just scrape off

Let's hope that's the case.

I'm concerned that the tile doesn't sit behind the socket faceplate, creating a gap that would naturally fill with grout. I always grout with the sockets off.

It's something the tiler should discuss with you beforehand. Maybe, of he's a noobie, the nerve's got the better of him

I think Jordan is right - here's another one. The socket doesn't sit flush against the tiles.

As said before , this time could be grout holding face plate of the tile . So loosen/ remove scrape grout and refit . If still no good carefully seal around with silicone .

Ah yes, got my torch for a close look and the tile does go behind it. I'm sure it can be improved, although I'm not sure it'll go completely flat as one of the tiles doesn't seem flat against the wall. Can't get a picture that does it justice - bottom one looks quite noticeably sunken in real life!

What's JCR said regarding the first picture.

The second picture, looks like and bad cut and some excess grout that could be scraped

I've just noticed that B&Q have this same trim finish on their website. Not that i'm saying it's right...

Trimming the top and a window reveal with metros is always a pain because of the different thicknesses of the tile.

Imo trimming the top of any tile in a kitchen is a personal preference, some tiles look better with the rustic look some don't.
As always it should be something to discuss with the client before tiling starts.
