Most homeowners choose to stay away from the job requiring the installation of tiles on the bathroom floor. This job, according to them, can turn out to be a complicated one if they follow an approach they’re not supposed to. Keeping this in mind, it’s wise to leave to a professional tiler in Sydney who knows how to and when to accomplish the required tile installation job.

You must conduct the research when it comes to hiring a professional tiler for the require installation job. Here are five important questions you must ask a tiler:

1. Choose the tile prior to hiring a tile installer

Well, this might not seem as obvious as you think it is, but it will decide upon the scope of work and what level of skill and competency you require for the job.

For instance, big format tiles or a project involving various sized tiles in a pattern will not be easy to install and cost you an arm and a leg.

2. Ask the tile supplier for professional respected contractors

This definitely seems different than a direct referral, as it’s basically a list of contractors that buy tiles from the supplier in your city on a regular basis. These contractors are the ones who have a relevant industry experience, so you must ask for previous work samples and seek references from them as well so you’re sure they are a reputable name on the market.

3. Ask for a professional referral

Word of mouth is simply the best way to finding a professional tiling contractor. If you know someone or there’s a neighbour in your area who had successfully got the tile installation work completed in their bathroom, you should ask the person who the installer was and their contact details.

4. What if you have chosen a professional tiler

Find a tiler Sydney who can showcase the best work achieved until now. Once you have found it, don’t forget to ask if they’re suited to your tile installation project as far as size and requirements are concerned. Do ask how long they’ve been serving in your area, what’s the number of projects they have successfully completed, the average time they take to accomplish a project and other vital questions.

5. Get a quote in writing

Before making a final call, you must insist on receiving a signed and detailed quote from your floor tiler. They should consider services they’re likely to provide you with such as removing old tiles, repairing as well as leveling the floor, preparing the surface, disposing the old tiles and so on.

Conclusion

A professional floor tiler in Sydney with the relevant experience in the industry will assume complete responsibility of installing the tiles in your bathroom in the best possible manner meeting your expectation.

You may not be aware of the fact, but the rule of thumb is choosing a tiler backed by at-most three years’ experience, and a proven track record in installing floor tiles is the most practical decision you’ll ever make.
