Why Professional Floor Tiling Matters
Floor tiling looks straightforward but poor installation leads to tiles lifting, cracking, hollow spots, and uneven grout lines within months. Our licensed tilers ensure the subfloor is structurally sound and correctly prepared before laying a single tile. We use the correct adhesive system for each substrate — from concrete slabs and fibre cement sheeting to plywood and existing tiles — so your floor tiles bond properly and stay that way.
We also calculate the correct expansion joints for your floor area and tile format to prevent cracking from thermal movement, a step many DIY installers skip that leads to expensive repairs later.
Popular Floor Tile Choices
We install all floor tile types and can advise on what suits your project best:
- Porcelain floor tiles — Extremely durable, low-maintenance, and available in wood-look, stone-look, and polished finishes
- Ceramic floor tiles — Affordable and ideal for indoor areas with moderate traffic
- Slate & stone tiles — Natural stone options for character-rich interiors and outdoor areas
- Travertine — Elegant natural stone popular in bathrooms, kitchens, and alfresco areas
- Rectified tiles — Precision-cut tiles that allow very tight grout lines for a seamless, modern look
Our Floor Tiling Process
- Site assessment — We check floor levels, subfloor condition, and moisture to identify any prep work needed
- Subfloor preparation — Levelling compounds, repairs, and priming as required to create a flat, stable base
- Layout planning — We set out the floor to minimise cuts and ensure the pattern is centred and balanced
- Tile installation — Tiles are fixed with appropriate adhesive, correctly spaced, and levelled using a clip-and-wedge system for large format tiles
- Grouting — Joints are grouted in your chosen colour and finished to a consistent, clean profile
- Sealing — Grout and porous tiles are sealed for longevity and easier cleaning
