Tiler in Sunbury
If you have picked tiles for a bathroom or kitchen, a tiler plans the layout, prepares the surface and fits them.

Sunbury-on-Thames is in the Spelthorne borough of Surrey, with a village centre, a Thames frontage and plenty of family housing nearby. Staines to the west and Walton to the south are both within easy reach. Sunbury is close to the Thames.

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
- Tiling a hallway or kitchen floor
- Wet room waterproofing and tiling
- Tiling over underfloor heating
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.
- If you have underfloor heating, tell the tiler. The adhesive and the heating up process matter.
- Agree the layout before work starts so that you do not end up with thin cut tiles at a visible edge.
