When do you need a Tiling?

Consider tiling when renovating a bathroom or kitchen, creating a splashback, or installing new flooring in high-traffic areas. Tiling is also ideal for waterproofing wet rooms and providing a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface.

What happens on the day

The professional will prepare the surface, measure and cut tiles accurately, apply adhesive, lay the tiles, and then grout and seal them for a complete, waterproof finish. They will ensure the area is left clean and tidy.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area completely of furniture, appliances, and personal items.
  • Ensure walls or floors are clean, dry, and structurally sound.
  • Have your chosen tiles and any trim pieces on site and accessible.
  • Ensure good ventilation, especially in bathrooms or kitchens.
  • Turn off the water supply to sinks/toilets if tiling around them.

How to improve your result

  • Use a flexible grout and adhesive in areas prone to movement, like floors with underfloor heating.
  • Consider a contrasting grout colour to make individual tiles stand out.
  • Always order slightly more tiles than calculated (10-15% extra) to account for cuts and breakages.
  • Regularly clean grout lines and re-seal natural stone tiles to maintain their appearance and protect against moisture.

Why it is useful day to day

Professional tiling provides a highly durable, low-maintenance, and hygienic surface that is resistant to water and wear, significantly enhancing the functionality and visual appeal of your home.

Why we ask these questions

The type of tile (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone) affects cutting methods, adhesive choice, and installation complexity. The area to be tiled (floor, wall, bathroom, kitchen) determines preparation needs and waterproofing requirements. Square meterage is essential for accurate material and labour cost estimation.
