A look at recent jobs
Bathrooms, kitchens and floors tiled across Woolwich and nearby.
Bathroom and kitchen tiling, floor tiling, wet rooms and large-format porcelain across Woolwich — fixed written price, acoustic underlay where the lease needs it, old tiles taken away.
Half the tiling in Woolwich now happens in a leasehold flat. That means a managing agent, working hours, protected lifts and landings, and an acoustic spec in the lease — none of which a tiler learns on a house.
Lease checked before we quote, method statement and notice for the managing agent, working hours observed, lifts booked and communal landings boarded and protected.
Most modern leases require an acoustic layer beneath a tiled floor. We fit it properly, so the first complaint from downstairs never becomes a bill to take it all up again.
The flat, true walls in the newer blocks want big formats — back-buttered, on a levelling system, set out genuinely straight because a large tile shows every millimetre.
From new-build en-suites to the small awkward Victorian bathrooms up the hill in Plumstead, where the whole job is in the preparation.
Laid on a properly prepared floor so the lines carry through the doorways instead of jumping at each threshold.
Old grout raked out, fresh grout in, silicone renewed — a fraction of the cost of starting again.
Bad tiling shows for twenty years and from every angle — grout lines that wander, a cut that dies in a corner, a wall nobody set out properly before they started. The prep is the job: a flat sound wall, the run set out from the middle, and the cuts landing where nobody looks.
Send a photo of the room on WhatsApp with rough measurements — and the tile you like, if you have already picked one.
A fixed written price for the room — adhesive, grout, trims, cuts and taking the old tiles away, all in.
Set out properly, tiled, grouted and sealed — old tiles and rubble taken away, and the room left clean rather than dusty.
Public-liability insured, with references from regular customers you can check first.
The run is planned from the centre so cuts fall evenly and nothing awkward lands beside the door.
Stripping out, rubble and disposal are in the price. No rubble bags left in the hall for a fortnight.
One price for the room, agreed before we start. No day-rate creep and no "the wall was worse than we thought".
Bathrooms, kitchens and floors tiled across Woolwich and nearby.
Tiling a flat is a different trade from tiling a house, and Woolwich has more flats than anywhere else in the borough. Start with the lease. Most modern blocks around the Royal Arsenal and Kidbrooke require an acoustic underlay beneath any hard floor, and a good number prohibit hard flooring outside the kitchen and bathroom altogether. Lay a porcelain floor without that layer and the first complaint from downstairs becomes a bill to take it all up again, so we check the lease before we quote rather than after. Then there is the building itself: a managing agent who wants notice and a method statement, permitted working hours that rule out early starts, a goods lift that has to be booked, and communal carpet and landings that have to be boarded and protected on the way in and out. None of that is difficult, but it is the difference between a job that runs and a job that gets stopped on day two. The tiling itself in the newer blocks is a specific discipline — the walls are flat and true, the format is large, and the tolerances are tight, which means back-buttering, a proper levelling system and genuinely straight setting out, because a big tile shows every millimetre of error. Go a mile up the hill into Plumstead and it inverts completely: small Victorian bathrooms, walls that are anything but flat, pipe boxing everywhere and a room that has been tiled over two or three times already. There the job is preparation and setting out, taking it back to something sound and starting the run from the middle so the cuts fall evenly. We do both, along with kitchen splashbacks, floor tiling through hallways, wet rooms tanked properly and regrouting where the tiling is sound but the finish has gone. Fixed price for the room, old tiles and rubble taken away, and the place left clean.

That is the first thing we check, before quoting. Most blocks around the Royal Arsenal and Kidbrooke require an acoustic underlay beneath any hard floor, and some prohibit hard flooring outside the kitchen and bathroom altogether. Better to know now than after it is laid.
Yes. Notice, a method statement, booking the goods lift and agreeing working hours are all normal in Woolwich blocks and we handle them. It is the difference between a job that runs and one stopped on day two.
Woolwich and nearby — the Royal Arsenal, Plumstead, Charlton, Kidbrooke, Shooters Hill, Abbey Wood, Thamesmead and over toward Greenwich and Blackheath.
Yes, and that is the more skilled job of the two. Old walls are rarely flat and there is usually pipe boxing everywhere. It gets taken back to something sound and the run set out from the middle so the cuts fall evenly.
Yes, fully public-liability insured, and we can provide the certificate a managing agent will ask for before we start.
