London tilers for bathrooms, kitchens, walls and floors
Tiling is the trade that decides whether a bathroom looks £400 or £4,000. Same tile, same room — but with the wrong substrate prep, the wrong adhesive, the wrong notched trowel or sloppy grout lines, a high-end porcelain ends up looking like a job from Argos. Our tilers work to BS 5385-1 (wall tiles), BS 5385-3 (floor tiles) and BS 5385-4 (wet area tanking) so the finish lasts as long as the building.
Most London jobs split into three buckets: a full bathroom retile (walls plus floor), a kitchen floor or splashback, or a refresh — re-grout and re-silicone of tiling that's still sound but looking tired. We price all three on a fixed per-sqm or per-metre basis with no hidden extras for cuts, adhesive, primer or trims.
Large-format porcelain (600×1200, 800×800 and 1200×2400 slabs) is now standard on London bathroom refits — fewer grout lines, easier cleaning, modern look. It needs different handling though: back-buttered adhesive on every tile, levelling clips to keep lippage under 1mm, and two tilers on the larger sheets. Our quotes spell out which tile size you're getting and which build-up applies.

How it works
Survey & fixed quote
On a quick site visit or photo survey we measure walls and floors in sqm, check substrate (plaster, plywood, screed or backer board), confirm the tile size and finish, and lock in a fixed price. No day rates, no surprises.
Prep the substrate
Walls are primed, plasterboard joints reinforced, and floors levelled with a self-levelling compound where needed. Wet areas get a tanking membrane in shower zones to BS 5385-4 before any tile goes on.
Tile, level, grout
Tiles are set in flexible S1 adhesive with notched trowels sized to the tile. Large-format porcelain uses levelling clips for a lippage-free finish. Grout is colour-matched, sponged clean, and corners siliconed not grouted.
Seal, snag & sign off
Natural stone is sealed, silicone joints tooled, edge trims dressed in and the site cleaned down. We walk the room with you to snag any cuts before the final payment is taken.
Areas covered
Tiling crews work across all 32 London boroughs and the City. Heaviest booking volumes come from Camden, Westminster, Islington, Hackney, Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth and Kensington & Chelsea.
