About Flooring & Tiling
Tile layout and where the cuts fall
The tiler should plan the layout so cuts at both ends of the room are equal and never narrower than half a tile. Walls are rarely straight, so a centre line guides the first row. A dry layout before adhesive prevents ugly slivers near skirting. Ask to see the planned layout on the floor.
How long a flooring job usually takes
A 20 m² ceramic tile installation in a single room typically takes 2 to 3 days, plus 24 hours before grouting and another 24 hours before walking on it. Larger areas, diagonal patterns, or uneven subfloors can extend the work to 1 week. Adhesive and grout cure times depend on humidity and room temperature, usually between 18 °C and 25 °C.
How a professional measures your floor before quoting
The installer measures length and width of every room and adds 10 percent for cuts and breakages. Staircases, door thresholds and bay windows need separate calculations. A sketch with measurements helps the quote stay accurate. If the room is irregular, expect a site visit instead of an instant estimate.
Insurance and contractor liability
A legitimate flooring contractor carries public liability insurance covering damage to your property or a neighbour's. Ask for the policy number and expiry date before work begins. Workers at your home should also be covered for accidents. Verbal confirmation is not enough; request the document.
Underfloor heating and tiling
Electric underfloor heating mats can be installed under most tiles, but the adhesive must be rated for heated floors. The system needs 2 to 4 weeks to cure before being switched on, and temperature should rise gradually by 5 °C per day. Vinyl and laminate can also be used, though heat output is lower than with stone or porcelain.
Slip resistance for bathrooms and kitchens
Tiles carry an R rating from R9 to R13. R10 to R11 suits most home bathrooms and kitchens. A glossy tile with a high R value does not exist. Ask the installer for the rating slip before choosing. Outdoor patios and pool surrounds need R12 or higher for safety.
Common problems after installation
Lippage, where one tile edge sits higher than the next, is a frequent complaint and often signals poor laying technique. Hollow-sounding tiles indicate missing adhesive, which leads to cracking under load. Grout haze appears when residue is not cleaned within 24 hours. These issues are easier to fix immediately than after several months of use.
Drying times before walking or grouting
Cement-based adhesive needs 24 hours before grouting. Rapid-set products can be ready in 4 to 6 hours, but read the bag. Walking on tiles before adhesive cures moves them and breaks the bond. Keep the room closed and avoid heavy traffic for at least 1 full day.
Subfloor preparation is not optional
Tiles need a flat, clean, and rigid surface. Concrete subfloors must be cured for at least 28 days before tiling. Wooden subfloors often need a cement backer board or uncoupling membrane to prevent cracking. A 3 mm deviation over 2 m is the maximum tolerance. Poor preparation is the main cause of loose or cracked tiles later.
Acclimatising materials before installation
Wood, laminate and some vinyl planks need to rest in the room for 48 to 72 hours before fitting. This lets the material adjust to indoor humidity and temperature. Skipping this step causes gaps, lifting or buckling a few weeks later. Ask the installer when the boxes arrived on site.
