A1- It depends on the size of the job and tiles required etc. Small bathrooms/kitchens can take anything from 3-4 days on a small scale, to over a week on a bigger scale. So depending on the amount of tiles you require and the size of room needed tiled, prices are to varied to state down.

A2- We accept all types of payments. Payments which require several days to clear ie. cheque, would require for the cheque to be cleared first before any work starts

A3- There will be a minimum of 3 people on the job at all times. This is the three who run the cbusiness. Any other contractors required (ie electricians) would also be on site when needed.

A4- Yes, all our tilers are fully qualified and have been in the business for years with a wide range of knowledge and skillls. The three tilers are excellant at what they do and this can be witnessed from our gallery page.

A5- It depends on the installation. Most bathrooms are complete in two weeks. We prefer to take a little longer to install your bathroom enabling us to give attention to detail and maintain our high standard of installation. We do not work on more than one installation at a time, when we start your installation we will be on site until completion.

A6- Yes, providing that the existing tiling is firmly bonded to the existing background. You will have to clean the existing tiling thoroughly and degrease them before fixing the new tiles.

Make sure that you buy the correct adhesive when tiling over existing tiling.

A7- With proper care and attention, correctly install good quality tiles should give many years trouble free service. Under normal circumstances they need little maintenance and are easily kept clean by wiping or mopping with warm water to which a neutral or nearly neutral detergent has been added. The cleaning solution should be allowed to stay on the surface for 5 to 10 minutes after which it should be removed by rinsing thoroughly with clean water.

The most important point to remember is the rinsing process, which removes the dirt. Inadequate rinsing can lead to a build up of deposits, which will gather dirt, making your tiles dull and floor tiles slippery.

A8- No, they are not strong enough to be walked on, they are generally not thick enough and the glaze is different, and not suitable for the floor. Keep an eye out whether the tiles which are on the wall are porcelain or ceramic, because you can use porcelain wall tiles on the floor as they are strong enough, its just ceramic tiles you need to be wary of.

A9- Porcelain Tiles are known for their durability and zero-maintenance qualities which make them a favorite for use in areas that are exposed to heavy wear and tear. Especially when there is an opportunity to use a heavy duty material without having to compromise on aesthetic appeal.

A10-Typical uses for ceramic tile are showers, backsplashes, bathroom and kitchen walls and floors. Requiring a stronger material than ceramic, porcelain tile is developed by composing finer bisques, finishes and firing methods.

A11-Yes we do. Under floor heating compliments the wet room and contemporary bathroom design beautifully. Not only will you experience the luxury that under floor heating offers, but it also helps to dry wet areas in a wet room environment more quickly.

A12-Yes, usually the layout of a bathroom can be rearranged. Rearranging a bathroom usually adds to the amount of work involved resulting in an increase in time and cost.
