Planning & preparation

As with all decorating projects, the most important aspect of any new tile installation is the planning and preparation of surfaces and materials

Careful setting out

We always take care to plan out every tile installation to ensure the best possible layout and will always check that you are happy before a single tile is set

Premium quality tiling materials

When selecting the necessary materials for each project we always take into account the tile type, the surface to which the tiles are being fixed and very importantly the intended use of the area being tiled (eg. shower / wet area)

We strongly advise the waterproofing (tanking) of all wet areas prior to tiling

This important attention to detail at the planning stage of a project helps to ensure a successful and functional tile installation everytime
