About Flooring & Tiling
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.
Movement joints in large tiled areas
Any tiled surface over 8 linear metres, or where floor meets wall, needs a flexible silicone or expansion joint. Without it, tiles crack under thermal movement or structural shift. The colour of the joint can match grout or contrast as a design line. Confirm the spacing plan before work starts.
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.
How to measure the area correctly
Measure length and width of each room in metres and multiply to get the square metre total. Add 10 % extra for cuts and breakage on straight layouts, and 15 % for diagonal or patterned layouts. Always round up, never down. A tape measure, notepad, and sketch with door and corner positions are enough for an accurate quote.
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.
Disposal of old flooring and rubble
Removing old tiles, screed or timber creates heavy waste. A 20 square metre room can fill a 4 cubic metre skip. Clarify in the quote whether removal and disposal are included. Some installers leave bags for the client to clear. Hazardous materials like old vinyl with asbestos need licensed removal.
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 to maintain new flooring
Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove grit that scratches the surface. Clean tiles with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid bleach or acids that damage grout. Reseal natural stone every 12 to 18 months. Replace entry mats every 6 months to reduce dirt load. Proper care can extend tile life beyond 20 years in residential settings.
Grout, adhesive, and why they matter
Cement-based adhesive is standard for ceramic, while modified polymer adhesive suits porcelain and large-format tiles. Epoxy grout resists stains and water better than cement grout but costs more and sets faster. Flexible grout is recommended over expansion joints. Using the wrong product is a frequent cause of discolouration and detachment within the first year.
Types of flooring you can install at home
The most common options for residential use are ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, vinyl planks, laminate boards, and natural stone. Each material reacts differently to moisture and traffic. Porcelain is denser than ceramic and resists water better. Vinyl and laminate are quicker to install but cannot be refinished. Stone looks attractive but needs sealing every 1 to 2 years.
