About Flooring & Tiling
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.
Warranty and what it should cover
A reliable installer offers a written warranty of at least 12 months on workmanship and passes through the manufacturer's warranty on materials, often 10 years or more. The warranty should exclude impact damage and misuse but cover detachment, cracking from substrate movement, and grout failure. Keep the invoice and product codes filed for any future claim.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What to ask about waterproofing in wet areas
Bathrooms and laundry rooms need a waterproof membrane under the tiles, not just on the walls. The membrane should cover the entire floor and extend at least 150 mm up the walls. Ask which brand the installer uses and whether a compliance certificate is issued. Skipping this step is a leading cause of water damage in apartments.
