How a package runs

From the drawings to handover

  1. Drawings, specification and quantities

    You send the drawings, the tile and stone schedule and the quantities. We price the labour for the whole tiling and stone package, or for one part of it.

  2. Setting out before the first tile

    Floors and walls are checked for level, the setting out is agreed with the site team, and pattern, joint width and cuts are fixed before work starts.

  3. Supervised on site

    Our supervisors hold an NVQ Level 3 in Occupational Work Supervision and work to the main contractor's RAMS, inductions and site rules.

  4. Checked room by room

    Each area is checked against the drawings and the specification before it is signed off, so snagging stays small at handover.

  5. Handover and 12 months

    We hand over clean, finished rooms and stand behind our materials and workmanship for 12 months.

Quality, stage by stage

What gets checked before it's covered

A tiled floor is only as good as the screed and the setting out under it, so we check those while they can still be put right.

Stage checks
StageWhat we check
SubstrateLevel, flatness and dryness of floors and walls checked before anything is fixed to them.
Setting outJoint lines, pattern start points and cuts agreed with the site team before the first tile or stone goes down.
