Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can you go over existing tiles?

Yes you can but there are some things to consider first. A professional tiler will assess whether the walls are strong enough to support the extra weight and whether the existing tiling is well bonded to your walls or floor before agreeing to this method.

2) Why has my grout cracked or come loose?

This is a sign that the floor preparation was done incorrectly. Its something we see too regularly and can be avoided by using a reputable tiler. Floors need to be solid before any tiling can begin so make sure your floorboards are fixed down with screws, then a layer of cement board should be put over the floorboards and screwed every six inches in all directions. Next a decoupling membrane should be added to allow for expansion in the timber below. Then tiling can begin over the top. Remember if you can see it moving or hear it moving (creaking) its not suitable for tiling.

3) Which are the most hardwearing?

Porcelain tiles are extremely hardwearing and are especially suitable for floor tiling. They have become the most popular choice over the last ten years or so. They are tough to cut and drill but any experienced tiler will have the correct tools to work with them comfortably.

4) Are tiles suitable for external tiling?

Yes but keep in mind that outside they will be subject to the weather so will need to be non slip. I would always recommend a high grade porcelain tile as they are very hard wearing and available in many non slip finishes.

5) Why does natural stone cost more than ceramic to install?

Natural stone such as slate, marble, travertine and limestone need to be cut on a wet cutting machine rather than a standard score and snap tile cutter which is a lot more time consuming as well as needing to be done outside. They also need to be sealed before and after grouting which will add more time to the job.

6) Why do my walls or floor sound hollow when I tap them?

This is due to bad installation, tiles should be fitted to a solid bed of adhesive only, it is not acceptable to just dab a blob of adhesive onto the corners of the tile and press it onto the walls or floor. Your tiler should spread adhesive using a notched trowel to ensure even coverage below the surface.

7) When fixing onto heated screeds do I need a decoupling membrane such as Ditra or Durabase?

Yes absolutely, heated screeds should be turned on two weeks before tiling can commence to allow any cracks to appear. Heated screeds shrink and expand slightly during hot and cold cycles so you will definitely need to combat this with a decoupling membrane. These can add substantially to the cost of your tiling but are absolutely essential to this process.

8) How do I calculate square meters M2?

Wall and floor tiling is generally measured in square meters (M2) one square meter covers an area 1 meter in length x 1 meter in width. If you are tiling a wall that is 2.4 meters high by 2 meters wide you should calculate it as 2.4 X 2 = 4.8m2 repeat this for each wall or floor you are tiling and add 15% to the total to allow for waste and off cuts. This will usually give you enough tiles to finish the job. Use our tile calculator to automatically work out how many tiles you need.

9) Can a broken tile be chopped out and replaced?

Yes absolutely, its fairly straight forward to break out a broken or chipped tile and replace it with a new one. First you will need a replacement tile which can be difficult if you don't have one left from the original job. Then you just need to carefully, using a hammer smash the broken tile and use an old chisel to remove the pieces being careful not to damage the good tiles surrounding it.

10) Can you tile directly onto floorboards?

Tiles Laid

Specialist Floor Tiling Company in London and Surrey

We carry out thousands of square meters of floor tiling every year and this number keeps on growing due to the current trends of tiling floors from the hallway, downstairs loo, utility room, into larger kitchen dining rooms and sometimes even out into the garden! At CMD Ceramics we have almost 20 years experience in domestic and commercial floor tiling and will help to ensure that you receive a tiled floor that will last for many years to come by using the correct materials, installing uncoupling membranes and expansion joints where necessary, strengthening floors, levelling uneven floors, tiling over heated screeds or including electric underfloor heating as part of any floor tiling project. We can expertly install mosaics, ceramics, natural stone and large porcelain tiles and will use tile levelling clips where necessary to provide the flattest floors possible.

Specialist Bathroom Tiling Contractors

Tiling in bathrooms requires extra preparation to the areas that regularly get wet. Tiles and grout are not 100% waterproof and do allow a very small amount of water to pass through, so we combat this by using a waterproof tanking system in vulnerable areas such as in shower cubicles and around bath tubs. Bathrooms are also prone to humidity, so we avoid using plywood or plasterboard or any other moisture sensitive boards to tile on. We would always recommend a cement based board such as Hardibacker as it is the perfect choice for tiling onto. Choosing your new tiles can seem pretty daunting as the possibilities are limitless. We always recommend that you keep it simple, choose all of your tiles from one range to really get the designer look. You can switch colours and textures to accent different areas of your bathroom such as for feature walls, in shower cubicles, niches and on the floor.
