    Default Tiling Standards

    Hi Here, need some help.
    I've a customer that is arguing that the grout lines on her floor tiles are not parallel with both walls in her hallway, problem is her hallway walls are not straight, but she does not understand, she refuses to pay, thinking its a problem with the tiling. She is contacting the association of tilers though not sure what they can do???
    Is there any standards or anything i can quote to her that explains this, as she does not understand and i need her to so i can get paid?
    Thanks

    Hard to give advice without seeing the job,have you any pictures, and as has been said, how far out are the walls running and was it possible to align to one wall or are they both way out ?
