Living areas & hallways
Large-format porcelain, timber-look planks and stone, set out so the pattern runs true down the length of the room.
We tile single and double-storey houses, duplexes, terraces, granny flats, townhouses and apartments. One splashback or a whole house — the standard of the preparation does not change with the size of the job.
Most residential problems come down to the surface underneath. Floors that are not level, walls that bow, old adhesive left in place, or waterproofing that stops short of where the water actually goes. We fix that first, then tile over something that will hold.

Waterproofed, screeded to fall, then tiled — including niches, hobs, shower recesses and floor wastes.
Subway, mosaic, herringbone or full-height slabs, cut cleanly around power points, windows and the rangehood.
External-grade waterproofing and slip-rated tile for alfresco areas, entries and pool surrounds.
Tiled treads and risers with matching nosings and a consistent step height from top to bottom.
Cracked or drummy tiles replaced, tired grout raked out and refilled in a colour that matches the rest.
Not always. Tiling over sound existing tile is possible in some rooms, but it raises the floor height and can cause problems at doorways and in wet areas. We check what is under there before recommending it.
You are welcome to buy your own, and plenty of clients do. If you would rather not shop around, we will point you at suppliers and give you a material allowance in the quote so the numbers are clear.
Around 10% over the measured area for a straight lay, and closer to 15% for diagonal, herringbone or heavily patterned work. Keep the offcuts — matching a discontinued tile years later is painful.
Usually yes for a single room. Tiled floors need to be kept off while the adhesive cures, so we plan the sequence around access — for example tiling a hallway in halves so you can still get through.
Room, rough measurements and a couple of photos are enough to start.
