What this work involves
Choose tiles in relation to the room. Discuss cuts, corners, falls where needed and fittings. Large formats require a suitable substrate.
- Substrate preparation
- Format and pattern
- Joint width and colour
- Waterproofing where needed
- Corners and movement joints
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Defer vulnerable final finishes until investigation and disruptive repairs are complete.
What the drawing needs to explain
Create a phase drawing with three colours: repair now, improve later and investigate first. Mark where phases meet, such as roof edges, service routes and finished floors.
How to review the result
Check both completed work and preparations for the next phase. Record which connections are deliberately temporary and when they will be reassessed.
Cost factors for this service
Format, pattern, cutting and detail work determine the labour involved.
Bring this to the discussion
Dimensions, chosen tiles, fitting positions and substrate photographs.
Questions about the work
Can large tiles work in a small room?
Yes, but the layout and cuts matter. Plan the distribution before installation to avoid awkward narrow strips.
