Floor Tiling
Living areas, passages and bedrooms in George tiled on a level screed, with old tiles lifted and loose areas repaired first.
A tiled floor in George has to handle muddy shoes, wet patios and chilly winter mornings. Our tilers prepare the base properly and lay tiles that suit the way you live, with your own tiles or ones we supply.

From a single bathroom to a full open-plan floor, these are the tiling jobs we do most for George homeowners.
Living areas, passages and bedrooms in George tiled on a level screed, with old tiles lifted and loose areas repaired first.
Showers are waterproofed before any tile goes on, which matters in a damp climate where leaks quickly lead to mould in the next room.
Neat splashbacks behind counters and stoves, cut cleanly around plug points and finished with straight, even grout lines.
Covered stoeps and outdoor entertainment areas tiled with slip-resistant tiles and a slight fall so the frequent George rain runs off.
George is wet and green for much of the year, and that shapes how tiles should be chosen and laid. Patios and entrances get rain blown onto them regularly, so smooth glossy tiles become slippery and poorly sloped areas hold puddles. Inside, moisture from bathrooms and showers can find its way through gaps in old grout and into walls if the waterproofing underneath is missing.
Many homes here are older houses with original floors that have cracked or lifted, while newer homes and estate houses are often being upgraded with larger format tiles in open-plan living areas. Both need a flat, firm base, which is where most of our preparation time goes.
We lift old tiles or flooring, check for hollow spots and damp, and level the screed. Large tiles show every dip, so this step decides how the floor looks in the end.
Showers, bathroom floors and walls around baths are waterproofed and given a proper fall to the drain before tiling, then grouted and sealed.
Patios, stoeps and pool surrounds get tiles rated for outdoor use and a gentle slope away from the house, with expansion joints where they are needed.
Outdoor tiles in George spend a lot of time wet, so grip matters more than shine. We can supply suitable tiles or check the ones you have bought before work starts, and we will tell you if a tile is meant for indoor use only.

Yes, every time. A waterproofing layer goes on before the tiles so water cannot soak into the walls or floor behind them.
