Our Tiling Process

Initial Consultation and Quotation
We inspect the area to be tiled, measure surfaces and discuss your material preferences. You’ll receive a transparent quote for labour and materials.
Site Preparation
Surfaces are levelled, waterproofed if needed, and cleaned. This creates a stable base for a lasting tile installation.
Layout and Setting
We lay the tiles with precise alignment, taking care to avoid issues such as uneven grout lines or lippage. We install any necessary edge trims and border cuts.
Grouting and Sealant
Once tiles are set, grout is applied and cleaned. Sealant is added where needed, such as bathrooms or outdoor areas, to protect against moisture.
Final Inspection
We walk through the finished area with you to confirm quality, fix any minor imperfections and ensure you're satisfied.
