About Flooring & Tiling
Protecting new floors during follow-on trades
Painters, plumbers and electricians walk on a finished floor. Cover tiles with breathable protective board, not plastic sheeting, which traps moisture and clouds grout. Wooden floors need hardboard sheets taped together. Discuss protection in the contract, or the last trade may damage the new surface.
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.
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.
Transitions between different floor types
Where tile meets carpet, wood or vinyl, a transition strip covers the height difference and protects the edge. Aluminium, brass and PVC profiles are common. The strip should sit flush with the higher surface to prevent trips. Discuss profile material and colour before installation day.
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.
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.
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.
Expansion gaps around the perimeter
Floating floors need a gap of 8 to 12 mm around walls, pipes and door frames. The gap is hidden by skirting or trim. Without it, the floor presses against walls when humidity rises and lifts in the middle. A good tiler checks the gap before fitting the last row.
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.
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.
