Tiling
Wall and floor tiling set out from the centre line, with the waterproofing that wet areas require.
Tiling fails at the substrate far more often than at the tile. A wall that flexes, a floor that is not level, or a shower area that was never tanked will show up as cracked grout and loose tiles within a year or two. We prepare and, where needed, tank the surface before any tile is set.
Set-out matters just as much. Tiles are laid from a centre line so cuts fall evenly at both ends, and full tiles land where the eye goes first.
What’s included
- Bathroom, shower, kitchen and splashback tiling
- Floor tiling including levelling compound where required
- Tanking and waterproofing of wet areas
- Substrate preparation, backer board and reinforcement
- Ceramic, porcelain, mosaic and large-format tiles
- Grouting, silicone sealing and trim finishing
Typical jobs
Work of this kind we take on
- Full bathroom retile including shower enclosure
- Kitchen splashback and worktop upstand
- Porcelain floor tiling in a hallway or kitchen
- Replacing cracked or loose tiles and regrouting
- Re-sealing a bath or shower that has started to leak
What to expect
How we approach it
- Wet areas tanked
- Shower and bath surrounds are waterproofed before tiling. Grout is not a waterproof layer, and treating it as one is why so many showers leak into the room below.
- Set out from the centre
- We plan cuts so they fall evenly and out of the main sightline, and so awkward slivers do not end up in a corner or against a door.
- Movement joints where they belong
- Silicone rather than grout at internal corners and where tiling meets a bath, sanitaryware or a different material — grout in those positions will crack.
