What are the best tiles for kitchen walls?

Ceramic and porcelain tiles are the most popular choices for kitchen walls. Ceramic tiles are lightweight, affordable, and available in a wide range of colours and patterns. Porcelain tiles offer greater durability and water resistance, making them ideal for areas around the sink and hob.

What splashback options do you offer?

We fit a variety of splashback options including ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, glass splashbacks, and natural stone. Each material offers different aesthetic and practical benefits, and our team can advise you on the best choice for your kitchen layout and design preferences.

How long does kitchen tiling typically take?

A standard kitchen tiling project usually takes 2 to 4 days, depending on the size of the area and the complexity of the design. Larger kitchens or intricate mosaic patterns may take a little longer. We always provide a clear timeline before work begins.

Can you tile around existing kitchen units?

Yes, we regularly tile around existing kitchen units, appliances, and worktops. Our tilers use precision cutting techniques to ensure a neat finish around cupboards, sockets, and pipework without the need to remove your fitted kitchen.

How should I maintain my kitchen tiles after installation?

We recommend wiping tiles down regularly with a mild cleaning solution and keeping grout lines clean to prevent discolouration. Sealing the grout periodically helps maintain water resistance and keeps your tiles looking fresh. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that could damage the tile surface.

Do you require upfront payment for tiling work?

In most cases, no. The majority of our clients pay in full once the tiling is completed and signed off. For larger projects involving expensive materials, we may request a deposit. Payment terms are always agreed in writing before work begins.

Do you supply the tiles or do I need to source them myself?

Either option works for us. Many clients prefer to choose and purchase their own tiles, while others ask us to recommend and source products on their behalf. We can advise on the best materials for your space and design preferences.
