Floor Tiling
Old tiles or vinyl lifted, screeds checked and levelled, and new floor tiles laid through living areas, passages and bedrooms with even grout lines.
Cool tiled floors make sense in a Stellenbosch summer, and a well-tiled patio is where much of the living happens from spring to autumn. Our team prepares the surface, sets out the tiles neatly and finishes the grout cleanly, so send photos and measurements for a written quote.

These are the tiling jobs Stellenbosch homeowners and landlords ask us for most, indoors and out.
Old tiles or vinyl lifted, screeds checked and levelled, and new floor tiles laid through living areas, passages and bedrooms with even grout lines.
Bathroom floors and walls tiled, with showers waterproofed before a single tile goes on, so water stays where it should.
Splashbacks behind counters and stoves tiled neatly around plug points and windows, a quick way to freshen a kitchen in a rental or family home.
Patios, stoeps and braai areas tiled with outdoor tiles suited to strong sun and wet winters, laid with a gentle fall so rain runs off.
Indoor tiles suit Stellenbosch well because they stay cool when the valley heats up, and they are hard-wearing in student rentals where carpets do not last. Many landlords swap tired carpet or vinyl for tiles between leases for exactly that reason.
Outside, a patio or stoep takes strong sun all summer and heavy rain through winter. Tiles laid flat with no fall leave water pooling, and outdoor tiles fixed with the wrong adhesive can lift as the surface heats and cools. We set a slight slope and use products made for outdoor use. Older homes in town sometimes have uneven floors too, which need levelling before tiling.
We lift old flooring, repair or level the screed, then set out the tiles from the centre of the room so the cuts at the edges are even. Skirtings can be tiled or replaced to match.
Showers are waterproofed first, including the corners and around the drain, then tiled with a proper fall to the waste. We can redo a whole bathroom or only the shower area.
We tile splashbacks, kitchen floors, patios and braai areas. Choose and buy your own tiles if you like, or we can source them and add them to the quote.
Some clients like to pick tiles themselves, while others would rather we handle it, and either works. If you are buying your own, send us the tile size and the room measurements first and we will tell you how many boxes to get, including extra for cuts and breakages, so the job does not stall halfway for want of a few tiles.
Our team also does handyman services in Stellenbosch, painting in Stellenbosch, building and renovations in Stellenbosch and fireplace, braai and chimney services.

Always. The shower floor, walls, corners and drain area are sealed first, then tiled with a fall to the waste. This is what stops leaks into the walls and the room next door.
It is one of the most practical floors for rentals. Tiles handle heavy wear, are easy to clean and do not need replacing between tenants the way carpet often does.
Yes. We use outdoor tiles and adhesive suited to sun and rain. They are laid with a slight fall so water drains away from the house.
