SO when tiling behind the socket do you grout around the socket or
silicone it?

I just leave it as it is!


Working from the middle of the wall would you place your batten 1 tile
up off the worktop? Bearing in mind the its only covering half the wall
so would probably have to have either half tiles at the top of the
tiling section or at the bottom (Worktop)

If the worktop is straight and level, as it should be, I'd tile
straight off it (with spacers), and continue the line of the worktop
with a batten. You don't really want to cut tiles on the worktop edge,
put the half tiles at the top, or consider moving wall units so you
can work whole tiles, or (better) use whole tiles, and hang the wall
units over them (no fiddly cutting to do).


When it comes to outward corners would you tile into the eye or out to
the eye??

Not sure. Use RE if poss., or corner trim.
