Separate tile laying from surface preparation
A quote can look cheap if it assumes the wall or floor is already ready for tiles. Ask what preparation has actually been included.
- Give the approximate square metres and tile dimensions.
- Say whether old tiles or flooring need removing.
- Mention uneven, damp or damaged surfaces before quoting.
- Agree trims, grout colour, sealant, pattern and waterproofing details.

London tiling context
Hard water and high-density housing are worth considering before tiling starts
The finish is visual, but London-specific water and building conditions can influence material choice, maintenance and access.
Thames Water supplies a hard-water region
Thames Water says all the water in its region is hard and explains that hard water can leave limescale deposits. In bathrooms and kitchens this makes grout colour, sealants, tile finish and cleaning expectations worth discussing, especially around showers and taps.
Most London households live in flats
The London Assembly Research Unit reports that 54% of London households live in flats, maisonettes or apartments. For floor tiling in a flat, access, working hours, noise and the effect of floor build-up on thresholds and doors can need more planning than in a detached house.

Show the surface, not just the tiles
Photos of the existing floor or wall, room dimensions and any cracks or uneven areas help a tiler understand preparation before visiting.
Large-format tiles change the job. Tile size, weight and pattern affect cutting, handling and substrate requirements.

Before you hire
What should you check before hiring a tiler?
Good tiling depends on preparation, layout and movement control as much as neat grout lines.
Check the substrate
Ask how the existing wall or floor will be made flat, stable and suitable for the chosen tile.
Agree wet-area preparation
For showers and other wet zones, clarify waterproofing and sealing before tiles are installed.
Confirm the visual details
Set out grout width, pattern, trims, cuts and alignment before the first tile is fixed.
Questions
Tilers in London: common questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
How much does tiling cost in London?
MyJobQuote's current UK guidance gives roughly £400–£500 for around 8m² of floor tiling, £500–£600 for around 12m² and £500–£800 for a typical bathroom, before unusual preparation or premium materials.
Does London's hard water matter for bathroom tiles?
It can affect maintenance because Thames Water says its region has hard water that can leave limescale. Tile finish, grout and sealant choices can make cleaning easier.
Should I tell the tiler I live in a flat?
Yes. Lift access, working hours, noise, thresholds and moving heavy materials through common areas can all affect the plan.
Can a tiler fix an uneven floor first?
Often, but do not assume it is included. Share photos and ask whether levelling, boarding or other preparation is part of the quote.
Do I have to hire a tiler who responds?
No. Up to three interested local professionals can respond and there is no obligation to hire.
