It is a coastal city by the sea. The climate in Kensington averages 10.8°C a year, with January around 5.4°C and July near 16.2°C. The area gets around 1,119 mm of rain per year.
Thin grout lines under 3 mm should use sanded or unsanded grout depending on tile size. Large format tiles over 30 cm need flexible epoxy grout. Epoxy resists staining better than cement. It costs more but lasts longer. Ask about curing time. Water-based grout needs 24 hours before light foot traffic to avoid surface pitting.
Avoid cheap paint-based sealers that peel off quickly. Demand liquid polymer membranes applied with a brush in 3 coats. The total thickness must reach at least 1.5 mm. Ask for a warranty on this specific layer. Waterproofing failures cause wet drywall behind walls within 2 years if skipped.
If black spots exist, require a certified mold inspection. Standard cleaning is insufficient for deep contamination. Ask for containment barriers during treatment. Verify air testing before sealing walls. Ignoring mold causes health issues and reinstallation failure. Ensure the contractor provides clearance certificates. This protects your indoor air quality long term.
Ask the contractor to test existing floor drains before demolition. Poor flow causes standing water, which damages subfloors quickly. Verify if a new trap or larger pipe is needed. This step prevents expensive post-installation flooding. Check the slope toward the drain. A 1:120 gradient is standard for proper drainage efficiency.
Look for hairline cracks in the plaster before tiling. These indicate movement or moisture damage. Removing tiles without addressing the base wall will cause cracks to return. A professional must assess if wallboard needs replacement. Sealing over active leaks wastes money and leaves the structure vulnerable to rot and collapse.
Verify the existing floor slope before starting work. A standard bathroom floor needs a 2% slope toward the drain. If the current concrete base is uneven, the new tiles will crack. Ask for a digital level reading. Poor slope traps water, leading to mold and slipping hazards.
Ask how much extra tile is ordered for cuts and breakage. Standard waste factor ranges from 10 to 15%. Complex patterns increase this percentage. Verify batch consistency to avoid color mismatches. Uneven batches ruin the visual finish. Confirm the supplier can replace broken pieces from the same batch. This prevents patchwork appearance.
Test every drain flow with 10 liters of water. Check for slow backups. Inspect all silicone seals around the shower base. Look for gaps at corners. Ensure the door swells properly in heat. Demand a final punch list of defects to fix before final payment. This forces corrective action on minor alignment issues.
Do not buy cabinets before measuring the finished floor. Tile adds 10 to 15 mm to the height. Standard vanity heights are 85 cm, but vary by user height. Check door swing clearance immediately. A 60 cm door needs 90 cm of open space. Misfitting furniture ruins the entire aesthetic and function of the room.
Require a full pressure test before tiling. Fill new pipes with water and hold for 2 to 4 hours. Check for drips or pressure drop. This catches leaks hidden under tile. Refusing this test risks paying twice for repair work. Insist on written sign-off from the plumber. This final check guarantees system integrity before closing walls.
