What a tiler does
A tiler checks the surface is flat, plans where the cuts fall, fixes tiles with adhesive and then grouts and seals. Poor preparation is the main cause of cracks and loose tiles.
Jobs people often ask tilers to do:
- Tiling a bathroom or shower room
- Fitting a kitchen splashback
- Wet room waterproofing and tiling
- Tiling over underfloor heating
- Re-grouting and resealing
Before you book a tiler
- In a shower or wet room the surface needs proper waterproofing (tanking) before tiles go on. Ask how it will be done.
- Large porcelain tiles need a very flat surface. Ask about levelling and the right adhesive.
- Agree the layout before work starts so that you do not end up with thin cut tiles at a visible edge.
- Ask who removes old tiles, and what is behind them. Old walls sometimes need repair first.
