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.

Consultation

During your consultation, a commercial or residential tiler will offer recommendations regarding the best options for your project and the tiled space.

For an interior job, like a bathroom tile installation, you’ll find contractors who specialise in the field, like bathroom renovation tilers or specialist glass tiling companies.

Exterior

Exterior tiling companies in New Zealand offer specialised services, like swimming pool tiling to complete your dream pool or waterproofing tiling to protect the membrane and keep your tiles lasting a long time.

Cleaning services

Tiling companies don’t just take care of your tile installation but can also offer cleaning services to clean any dirt in between the tiles.

Repair services

Most tiling companies also offer repair services if you need, for example, a tile and grout repair service. They patch up small cracks in tiles or replace them as needed.

Specialised services

Some companies also offer multiple services, like vinyl & laminate installers, on top of tiling work. The contractor can even offer interior decor advice to match your tiles.

The advantages of hiring a skilled tiler

If you’ve decided you need some tiles to match the job your flooring installers completed, it’s better to hire the best professional contractors in New Zealand. There are many advantages of using skilled contractors, that include workmanship and guarantees, as well as the excellent result you’ll have at the end of the project. They will also make well-informed recommendations for the best types of tiles for your project and complete the job much faster too. They will often also clean or repair any damaged tiles over time to ensure your tiling remains as good as new.

How to choose the best tiler for your project

Choosing one of the best tiling contractors 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 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 tiles, 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 time frame it’ll take to complete the 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 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.
