Floor Tiling in Lagos

Planning a floor tiling project in Lagos

Check the floor before laying tiles

A tiler should first check whether the screed is level, sound and ready to receive tiles. Hollow areas, cracks, uneven levels or residual moisture can affect alignment and adhesion. In renovation projects, removing old tiles and correcting the base may take as much planning as the new installation itself.

Tile size changes the way the job is handled

Large-format tiles can create a clean modern finish, but they usually demand flatter floors, careful adhesive coverage and more controlled cutting. Smaller tiles may be easier around drains, steps or irregular rooms. In Lagos apartments and estates, access for tile delivery and storage can also affect how the work is sequenced, especially where materials cannot be left outside.

Agree the details that make the finish look complete

Before work starts, decide the laying pattern, grout width, skirting detail, transitions at doorways and how tiles will meet drains or other floor finishes. Ask whether the quotation includes screed corrections, adhesive, spacers, cutting, grout and debris removal. It is also sensible to allow for tile wastage from cutting and breakage rather than buying exactly the measured floor area.
