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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
