A PLANNED SPECIALIST PACKAGE
REVIEW THE SCOPE.
DELIVER THE FINISH.
Wall finishes depend on suitable backgrounds and accurate setting-out. We assess the wall build-up, specified finishes, trims and interfaces with fixtures before works are programmed.
We price appropriate projects from the drawings, specification, substrate information and programme. Any work outside the agreed tiling package is identified before commitment.
WHAT WE CONSIDER
TECHNICAL SCOPE
AND DELIVERY.
Detailed setting-out
Consider tile sizes, joints, trims, corners, sanitaryware and service penetrations.
Quality and handover
Plan coordinated installation and inspection against the agreed scope and finish schedule.
BEYOND THE TILE RATE
WHAT THE PROJECT
NEEDS TO ALLOW FOR.
Commercial washrooms, changing areas, reception features and hospitality interiors require more than a presentable wall finish. Background strength, moisture exposure, service penetrations, fixtures and maintenance expectations all affect the system and detailing.
Wall background review
Check the proposed wall construction, loading implications, existing coatings, flatness and fixing suitability. Agree boarding or other preparation before installation starts.
Washroom and wet-area interfaces
Coordinate waterproofing, wall-to-floor junctions, penetrations, trays, drains and sanitaryware with the specified system. Tiles and grout alone are not the waterproofing strategy.
Set-out and finished details
Confirm datum lines, tile orientation, feature locations, corners, trims, access panels and joints before fixing.
Quality and handover
Plan inspections before critical waterproofing work is covered and confirm finishing, sealing, snagging and protection responsibilities.
FOR ESTIMATORS & CONTRACTS MANAGERS
WHAT TO SEND
WITH YOUR TENDER.
The more complete the information, the fewer unresolved assumptions in the proposed tiling scope. Drawings and documents can be included through our secure enquiry form.
- Room elevations, sanitaryware layouts and finishes schedule
- Wall construction details, background condition and loading considerations
- Tile format, trims, joint widths and approved setting-out details
- Wet-area classification, waterproofing design and relevant manufacturer system
- Installation phasing, access, inspection and handover requirements
Scope boundaries and variations
Waterproofing design, structural upgrades, concealed defects, specialist niches or access panels and changes to sanitaryware layouts must be explicit in the specification and priced scope.
COMMON TENDER QUESTIONS
THE PRACTICAL
DETAILS.
Can washroom tiling include waterproofing?
Yes, where included in the agreed package and a suitable system and design responsibility are established.
Can you tile directly onto any existing plastered wall?
Not automatically. The background must be assessed for suitability, strength, condition and the load and exposure of the specified tile system.
How are fixtures and penetrations handled?
We review the relevant drawings with the mechanical, plumbing and fit-out trades so waterproofing and finished tile interfaces are agreed before installation.
