Tiler — Professionals

Tiling leads are strongest when the provider can see the tile specification, area, substrate and wet-area details before quoting. Providers should clarify preparation, waterproofing responsibility, trim and joint details, material availability and whether removal and disposal of existing finishes are included.

Service scope

Tiling services cover preparation and installation of wall or floor tiles in dry and wet areas, including substrate preparation, setting out, cutting, grouting and repairs. Wet-area work can also involve waterproofing and careful coordination with finished levels and fittings.

What is normally included

  • Installing wall and floor tiles
  • Waterproofing tiled wet areas where part of the agreed system
  • Removing existing tiles
  • Levelling or preparing substrates
  • Repairing grout or replacing damaged tiles

What is not included

  • Structural floor repair beyond normal substrate preparation
  • Plumbing alterations not included in the tiling scope
  • Unspecified waterproofing systems without compatible materials

Qualification checks

  • Confirm tile material, size and laying pattern
  • Check substrate flatness and condition
  • Clarify waterproofing responsibility in wet areas
  • Confirm finished levels, trims and transitions
  • Identify removal, disposal and material-supply responsibilities

Quote guidance

Quote preparation and installation as clearly as possible rather than hiding substrate work inside a single rate. State assumptions about tile supply, adhesives, waterproofing, trims, old-tile removal and unusual cuts so the customer can compare equivalent scopes.

Lead risks

  • Hidden substrate defects can expand preparation
  • Missing or incompatible waterproofing details can delay wet-area work
  • Tile delivery or batch differences can affect programme and finish
