Wall and floor tiling, wet area waterproofing, splashbacks, and repair work on tiles and grout that have stopped doing their job. Residential work, mostly renovations and single rooms rather than new estates.
01 —
Walls, floors, hobs, niches and bath surrounds, with the screed and membrane done first. Bathroom tiling page
Falls set to the waste, junctions detailed with bond breakers, and diagnosis of showers that are wetting adjoining rooms.
Membrane to wet area floors, corners and wall returns, primed and cured before tiling starts. Quoted as its own line so you can see it.
02 —
Large-format porcelain, ceramic and mosaic over checked and levelled substrates. Timber floors in older flats are sheeted before tiling.
Stack bond, brick bond and herringbone layouts, set out from the sight line rather than the corner.
Cut around power points, window returns and rangehoods, with mitred or trimmed external corners.
External-rated tile with an appropriate slip rating, correct falls away from the building, movement joints and a drainage detail at the threshold.

Not every problem needs a full re-tile. Cracked or drummy tiles can often be lifted and replaced where matching stock exists and the surrounding floor is sound. Tired or missing grout can be raked out and replaced, and failed silicone at the corners renewed.
Where the membrane underneath has gone, we will say so rather than grout over it — regrouting a shower that leaks below the tiles only delays the repair.
Describe the room and send a couple of photos. We will tell you what the work actually involves — including when a repair will do instead of a full re-tile.
