Floor Tiling
Worn carpets and cracked tiles replaced with tiled floors that are easy to sweep clear of sand, laid level through open-plan living areas and passages.
Sandy feet, wet towels and salty air are part of life in Strand, and floors near the beach wear accordingly. Our tilers lay hard-wearing floors, waterproof showers and tile patios that stand up to coastal living.

Tiles are a practical choice in a beach town. These are the tiling jobs we do for Strand homes and flats.
Worn carpets and cracked tiles replaced with tiled floors that are easy to sweep clear of sand, laid level through open-plan living areas and passages.
Showers and bathrooms in Strand flats and houses waterproofed first, then tiled with sealed grout so damp does not stain the joints.
Splashbacks tiled behind stoves and sinks to protect the wall and give a holiday flat or family kitchen a quick update.
Patios, balconies and outdoor showers tiled with non-slip outdoor tiles laid to a fall, so rain and rinse water drain away.
In a town where many people walk straight in from the beach, floors take a lot of grit. Sand acts like sandpaper on soft floor finishes, which is why so many Strand homeowners choose tiles. A durable tile with sealed grout lines copes with daily traffic and is quick to clean.
Balconies on the beachfront flats and patios at the houses behind them face wind, salt and winter rain. Outdoor tiles here need a proper fall, a waterproof layer underneath on balconies, and movement joints, otherwise water gets under them and they crack or come loose.
We lift old flooring, check the screed and level it where needed before laying new tiles. Doorways get neat trims so the new floor meets the next room cleanly.
Shower walls and floors are waterproofed and left to cure, then tiled with falls towards the drain. Grout is sealed to keep out damp and soap scum.
Old balcony tiles are lifted, the slab is waterproofed and new outdoor tiles go down with the right slope and movement joints for sun and rain.
If your Strand flat is let over the holidays, the quieter months are the best time to retile it. We can plan a bathroom or floor around your bookings, agree noise and working hours with the body corporate, and leave the unit clean and ready before the next guests check in.
Our team also does handyman services in Strand, painting in Strand, building and renovations in Strand and fireplace, braai and chimney services.
