Natural stone tiling — Tiler
Identify the stone and finish using supplier information and photographs, not colour alone. Explain the room or exterior use, tile dimensions and expectations about natural variation. Ask which fixing, joint and optional protective treatments are proposed for the actual material.
Service scope
Installation of natural-stone tiles with a specification appropriate to the stone, background and exposure. Material variation, staining sensitivity, bedding, jointing and any agreed protective treatment are considered together; a universal sealer or adhesive is not assumed suitable.
What is normally included
- Assessment and layout of supplied stone tiles
- Installation using a compatible system
- Agreed jointing and protective-treatment scope
What is not included
- Promising uniform appearance from naturally varied stone
- Automatic specialist restoration or polishing
Typical tasks
- Review stone identification and finish
- Agree layout and visible variation
- Assess background and system compatibility
- Install the specified stone tiles
- Complete compatible joints and agreed aftercare handover
What to include in your brief
- Stone supplier and product details
- Tile dimensions and thickness
- Surface area and use
- Finish and variation preferences
- Proposed sealing or aftercare requirements
Choosing the right professional
Choose a provider familiar with the specified stone rather than treating all natural materials alike. Ask how compatibility, staining and layout will be assessed, and confirm whether any sealer, polishing or restoration work is actually included.
Important considerations
- Incompatible joint products can stain sensitive stone
- Natural variation may not match expectations formed from one sample
