Wall & Floor Tiling
Durable by design
With ceramic tiling dating back 25,000 years it has been modernised and adapted to offer a huge range of amazing finishes that will transform your space. Tiles can be used as a decorative finish or to serve a purpose. Tiles are durable with low maintenance to give a long lasting finish.
Bathroom Renovation
The bathroom solution
Working within your budget and layout of your bathroom, we can transform it into a luxurious and enjoyable space with minimal disruption.
All the stress of incorporating other trader, such as plumbers and electricians etc. will be project managed, leaving our clients to focus on the finished product.
The Pedestal System
Firm foundations
A pedestal is a foundation to the tile, allowing water to naturally drain away below the tiled floor.
Porcelain pavers are becoming more popular, transforming and expanding their living space outdoors. This system is ideal for a stylish rooftop terrace, balcony or even a garden patio.
Conservation Heritage Work
Restoring beauty
Some older buildings have restrictions on renovation or maintenance, so we often lay tiles or stone slabs on a sand cement mortar, causing no damage to the building’s fabric.
Our company also has expertise in restoring historic tiled floors. We often see old damaged Victorian tiles that could reliably be brought back to life by our cleaning and restoration team.
External Patios
Transform your balcony
Large format, 20mm thick porcelain tiles are becoming the new paving slab. Dependent on the substrate i.e stone, concrete slab or a lawn, we have the skills to change your outdoor space into a usable patio.
Tile Cutting, Profiling & Polishing
Clever and beautiful
Porcelain and natural stone tiles show the surface colour through the tile, allowing us to shape, champer and bullnose the tile to achieve an onsite finish.
This eliminates ordering custom pieces, waiting for delivery and saves on cost. Edging or Bullnosing a tile on site will allow you to custom fit any tile design with unique references taken into account.
Silicone
Creating a bond
Silicone is used to create a durable and watertight bond between materials. It is ideal for finishing joints, seams and other junctions to create that high quality finish. Our expert finishers take pride in the quality of the end result without rushing, which can spoil a good tile installation.
Wet Room & Bathroom Waterproofing
Our work is watertight
Waterproofing is a key component when it comes to balconies, swimming pools, wet rooms and shower enclosures to ensure water runs where it is meant to; down the drain. Not tanking in some cases can be a huge false economy, due to the highly inconvenient building repair work necessary if a leak is to happen.
Screeding
On the level
Screeding is necessary to either bring up the height of a floor, create a fall in a shower wet room or to ensure a perfect flat level surface to tile on. It is also used to encase under floor heating.
Grinding & Surface Preparation
A smooth start
Surface preparation is fundamental in tiling. If the surface is not suitable to receive a tiled surface, grinding, vacuuming and priming the substrate is then required. All paint, plaster, render, dust, dirt and grease is removed.
With Anhydrite floor screeds becoming the solution of choice on large scale floors we can also grind away the latent layer of the gypsum based product, allowing it to breath and dry out.
We also have the tools and experience to remove all materials from concrete by mechanical means, whether that is a tiled surface or retanked roof etc.
