Tiling in Cape Town

What our tiling covers

We lay floor and wall tiles in homes, sectional title units and commercial buildings. A typical job includes removing the old tiles, preparing the surface, removing the rubble and laying the new tiles. We also replace broken floor tiles as part of general property maintenance.

Waterproofing under the tiles

Showers, wet rooms and tiled balconies need waterproofing under the tiles, or water finds its way into the walls, floor and the structure below. Because waterproofing is our main line of work, it is done by the same team before the tiles go down. Our Kenilworth balcony project is an example of what happens when that layer fails: the old screed had to come out before a new waterproofing system and floor went in.

How the job runs

We visit the site, with no call-out fee, measure the area and check the surface underneath. You receive an official written quotation. Once you accept, we agree a start date, prepare and waterproof where needed, tile, and remove the rubble when we are done. When the work is finished we go through it with you before sign-off.

What affects the price

The area in square metres, the condition of the surface underneath, whether old tiles must be removed, whether the area needs waterproofing, and the tiles you choose all affect the quote, which we give in writing after the site visit.

Part of a bigger job

Tiling is often part of a bathroom makeover or kitchen renovation, which we handle from strip-out to finish.
