Tiling in Lagos

Planning general tiling work in Lagos

Define exactly what is being tiled

A simple room floor, a full bathroom and an entire house require different planning. Measure each area separately and identify where wall tiles, floor tiles, skirting, steps or outdoor sections are involved. Renovations should also account for removal of existing finishes and disposal of debris.

Preparation can determine the final quality

Tiling should not be used to hide badly uneven screed, damaged plaster or active damp problems. Floors need suitable levels and walls need a stable surface. In wet areas, drainage falls and waterproofing should be addressed before the final finish. This is especially important where water must move cleanly toward floor drains without ponding.

Compare quotations on scope, not labour alone

Two tilers may quote different amounts because one includes screeding, adhesive, grout, trims and cleaning while another prices only tile laying. Ask for the scope to be written clearly. Where the property is in an estate or a busy part of Lagos, also confirm working hours, material storage and how tile deliveries will be handled.
