Join us todayDepending on the type of floor tiles used, floor tilers will generally charge between £35 and £60 per m2 (Ceramic, Marble, Granite, Natural Stone, Slate or Mosaic Tiles). Skirting/dado, mitred corners, and silicone sealing are frequently charged extra. Tilers' quotes for flooring sometimes do not include the tiles themselves, but rather adhesive, grout, and labour. However, some businesses may give a pricing that includes the supply of tiles, so make sure you are comparing like for like in terms of the materials included when comparing quotations.
If you receive quotes per square metre over the phone, tilers will presume that all old tiles have been removed and that the surface is clean and flat, unless you specifically tell them differently. Furthermore, normal prices are based on a square or rectangular space; if the room has an unusual form with several nooks and crannies that would necessitate extensive cutting and fitting, the price will go up. Before comparing prices, have the tiler visit to your home and precisely price the project, then offer a written quote so you can see exactly what is included.
It might be tough to find the proper tiler for the job, just as it can be difficult to find the perfect tradesmen for any task. However, if you are planning to spend a lot of money on your tiles, the last thing you want is a shoddy job. When choosing a tiler, the most important thing to remember is to get someone who is properly certified. Professional tilers will provide a warranty for their work, however if you hire a "handy buddy" to perform the job, you may have issues with their work that are difficult to correct.
Using a properly trained tiler provides peace of mind, despite the fact that it will almost certainly be more expensive (but having the job redone if it is done poorly the first time will be far more costly!). Professional tilers will be able to show you examples of their prior work and provide you with contact information for their former customers.
