Floor tiling — Tiler
Explain the room use, existing floor construction and proposed tile. Include floor dimensions, changes in level, door clearances and any underfloor heating. Ask which preparation is needed before comparing installation prices by area.
Service scope
Installation of a tiled floor over a suitably prepared substrate, including agreed layout, transitions and movement detailing. Floor levels, loading, underfloor heating and the condition of the base form part of the specification rather than an assumed flat ready-to-tile surface.
What is normally included
- Assessment and preparation of the floor base
- Installation of specified floor tiles
- Agreed transitions and movement details
What is not included
- Automatic correction of structural floor movement
- Assuming every wall tile or adhesive is suitable for a floor
Typical tasks
- Inspect the floor substrate
- Review levels and adjoining finishes
- Agree layout and movement details
- Install the specified floor system
- Complete transitions and use-related handover
What to include in your brief
- Floor area and room use
- Substrate and existing finish
- Tile size and material
- Heating and movement-joint information
- Door and adjoining-floor levels
Choosing the right professional
Ask how the floor base will be assessed and how thresholds and movement joints will be treated. A tile-laying price should not silently exclude the preparation needed for the chosen finish or block doors through an unplanned level increase.
Important considerations
- Movement in the base can affect the tiled finish
- Changed floor levels can interfere with doors and adjoining rooms
