Tiling & Tile Installation Services

Floor, wall and outdoor tiling set out so the finished surface reads as one piece.

Good tiling is decided before the first tile goes down. Where the full tiles fall, where the cuts land, how the joints line up between floor and wall — that is the setting-out, and it is the difference between a tiled room and a well-tiled one.

We work from a set-out drawn against the actual room, not the theoretical one, because rooms are rarely square. Substrates are checked and corrected first: a floor that moves will crack a tile no matter how well it was laid, and no amount of grout hides a wall that is out.

The same applies outdoors, where falls, drainage and frost resistance matter as much as appearance.

  • Set out before it is laid

    Cuts, joints and datum lines are planned against the real room, not assumed.

  • Substrate corrected first

    Movement, level and moisture are dealt with before tiling, because they cannot be dealt with after.

  • Joints that line up

    Floor to wall, wall to recess, tile to fixture — the alignments people notice without knowing why.

What's Included

Tiling — what we cover.

Any of these can be booked on its own, or combined into one sequenced project.

  • 01

    Floor Tiling

    Substrate preparation, levelling and laying — including large-format and through-flow layouts.

  • 02

    Wall Tiling

    Set out so joints align across the room and cuts land out of the eyeline.

  • 03

    Bathroom Tiling

    Tanking, falls and finishes coordinated with the sanitary installation.

  • 04

    Kitchen Tiling

    Splashbacks and floors aligned to the cabinetry and worktop lines.

  • 05

    Outdoor Tiling

    Terraces, steps and paths laid to a fall, with frost-resistant materials and jointing.

  • 06

    Tile Replacement

    Lifting and replacing damaged tiles with a match, where a match still exists.

  • 07

    Grouting & Finishing

    Grout, silicone and trims — the joints that decide how the whole surface reads.

Our Process

How tiling work runs.

The stages specific to this discipline — each one signed off before the next begins.

  1. 01

    Survey

    Measuring the room as it actually is, and checking what the tiles will be fixed to.

  2. 02

    Setting Out

    Deciding where full tiles fall and where cuts land, before anything is fixed.

  3. 03

    Preparation

    Levelling, priming, tanking and any repairs the substrate needs.

  4. 04

    Fixing

    Tiles laid to the set-out with consistent adhesive coverage.

  5. 05

    Grouting & Sealing

    Grout, movement joints, silicone and trims finished cleanly.

  6. 06

    Clean & Check

    Surface cleaned down and walked with you before sign-off.

FAQ

Tiling — your questions.

Something not covered here? Ask us directly and we'll come back with a straight answer.

Can you tile over an existing tiled surface?

Sometimes, if the existing surface is sound, flat and well bonded. More often the honest answer is that it should come off first — we tell you which applies before quoting.

Do you handle large-format tiles?

Yes. Large formats are less forgiving of an uneven substrate, so preparation and levelling become a bigger part of the job — that is built into the quotation.

Do you do outdoor tiling and terraces?

Yes, laid to a drainage fall with frost-resistant materials and appropriate jointing.

Can you match tiles in an existing room?

We will try, and we will tell you plainly if a true match is no longer available rather than fitting something close and hoping.
