Tilers

Q: Do tilers remove old tiles?

Tilers often remove old tiles, but you must ensure you request it as part of the job. While some tilers complete it as part of the tiling job, others charge separately and will need extra time worked into the project timeline to remove old tiles.

Q: How many m² can a tiler do in a day?

It depends on the type and size of the tile and the location where it’s being laid. Overall, it takes about two hours to lay 1m² of 100mm x 200mm tiles and tilers can lay around 100 305mm x 305mm tiles in an hour. So that’s around 4.5m² a day, more or less.

Q: Can tilers do waterproofing?

Yes, these professional contractors can do waterproofing, especially if they’re bathroom or outdoor tiling experts. While it’s fine for the tiling contractor to do the waterproofing, always ask to ensure their experience in it and whether you need to consider a waterproofing specialist.

How to choose the best tiler for your project

Choosing a tiling contractor in New Zealand isn’t always easy, as there are many professionals in the field. ArchiPro makes this easier by featuring only the very best tilers from right across the country to get you off on the right track. First, it’s important to think about the type of project you’re working on, whether it's a residential or commercial and the type of space too, be it indoors, outdoors, bathroom, outdoor kitchen etc. Some tilers specialise in certain types of projects so this might be a good way to narrow down your choices. Always check out the catalogues of contractors you’re interested in to see their tile designs, services and pricing as you want someone that can accommodate your project requirements and budget. Finally, ask essential questions of your contractor, like the below examples:

Are there some tiles better than others for this project?
What’s the estimated timeframe it’ll take to complete the tiling project?
Are there any specifics to maintaining and cleaning these tiles?
How’s your pricing structured, and what’s included in the pricing?
What type of adhesive and grout is used, and what’s its lifespan?
Do you work closely with any other professionals, like plumbers, who may be helpful to my project?

Do tilers need to be licensed?

Often, these professionals need to be licensed, as they offer building work that requires expert knowledge and skills. This is especially true if it’s protective instead of decorative tiling, as doing an incorrect job can damage buildings. At the very least, tilers must be certified to offer professional services.
