Tiling is the part of a room everyone sees, and the part that shows every shortcut underneath it. Most of the job is preparation: stripping back, boarding, levelling and waterproofing before the first tile goes on.
Our tiling is done by Mykhailo, who tiles our bathrooms and kitchens every week. Because we also do the plumbing, carpentry and plastering, problems found behind old tiles get fixed rather than covered.

Tile calculator
Work out roughly how many tiles you need for a wall or floor.
A guide only. Measure each wall or floor separately and add them up, and take off doors and windows. We confirm quantities at survey.
Tile types
| Tile | Best for | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| Porcelain | Floors and walls anywhere, including showers | Dense and hard-wearing; needs the right adhesive and a good cutter |
| Large-format porcelain | Fewer grout lines, modern bathrooms and kitchens | Walls and floors must be flatter, so more preparation |
| Ceramic | Walls and splashbacks | Lighter and easier to cut; not usually for floors |
| Natural stone and marble | Feature walls and floors | Needs sealing; each tile varies |
| Mosaic | Niches, shower floors and feature strips | More grout lines, so more cleaning; good for falls in a shower floor |
What goes behind the tiles
Most tiling problems start underneath. These are the layers we put in, from the wall out.
Patterns
Straight
Tiles in a grid. Clean and simple, with the least waste.
Brick or offset
Each row shifted. Classic for walls and metro tiles.
Herringbone
Zig-zag pattern for floors and feature walls. More cuts and more time.
Diagonal
Set at 45°. Can make a small floor feel larger; more waste at the edges.
Questions
Can you tile over my old tiles?
In wet areas we do not recommend it. Removing them lets us check and repair what is underneath.
Do you tile kitchens as well as bathrooms?
Yes: splashbacks, walls and floors.
Can you supply the tiles?
Yes, or we can fit tiles you have chosen once we have checked they suit the room.
BATHROOMS
Tiling with a new bathroom or kitchen
Most of our tiling is part of a bathroom or kitchen renovation, planned with the plumbing and fittings so everything lines up.
