Kitchen Tiling
Kitchen tiles can transform the look of your kitchen. Not only can tiles be used for flooring, but they can also be used on walls and as splashbacks. Tiles are a great choice for kitchens as they come in a variety of styles, colours and types as well as being easy to clean, great for those who like to make a mess in the kitchen!
Marking out an area to estimate the quantity of tiles and adhesive needed, cutting tiles to size and form, levelling surfaces with plaster, sand, or cement (rendering), attaching the tiles, and adding grout are all common steps in a tiling job. Before the setting and marking out step, many tiling jobs will require the removal of the old surface. Ceramics, terracotta, stone, glass, granite, and marble are among the building materials used by tiling contractors.
Kitchen Tiling Cost
Depending on the size of the kitchen and the height of the tiling, kitchen tiling may cost anywhere from £250 to £600. These rates will usually include tile splashbacks above worktops and presume clean, naked, smooth, and ready-to-tile walls. These prices do not include the cost of the tiles, but they do include the cost of grout and adhesive, so remember to include in the cost of the tiles when estimating a kitchen tiling job. If you only need a small section of your kitchen tiled, such as around and above the sink or cooker, expect to pay approximately £150 for a half day of labour.
If you are having a new kitchen installed, you may employ a professional that can handle all of the tasks. It will make the procedure much easier, from flooring to tiling. You can get an accurate quotation from a professional who can do it all since they can determine exactly what they require and how long it will take.
Choosing a Tiler
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.
