Finding the right tiler for the right job

Many people would think that during the construction of a building one tradesman is needed for one job. The plumber takes care of all the plumbing, the electrician all the electrical work, painter all the painting. This is true for the majority of trades apart from one, the tiler. The tiling work has a number of different jobs that cannot be finished by the one tiling professional, inside tiling is very different to outside tiling, and even the inside tiling can range from a few different specialties, as can the outside. One way of finding the tiler with the expertise you need is by searching through a tilers directory. Here are pages built specifically for specialised tilers.

Roof tilers have a much different work project from the others. Roof tiles aren’t cemented or fixed into place, but are like a Lego set with each one locking itself into another. This make the roof tiles easier to repair and replace if broken, most of the time replacing a small amount of tiles can be done by any able body person, starting from scratch however, is a different story and requires the skill of qualified professionals.

Outdoor tilers take care of a number of different places, ranging from the driveway, veranda, pool side and walkways. These areas are sometimes ignored when it come to tiling around the home or office, but as these photos show a nice looking tiled outdoor area can change the feel of the building.




People pride themselves on an impressive kitchen. It is often the centre piece of the building where owners can show case their interior design, as well as the obvious cooking skills. Kitchen tiles are among the most stylish (and most expensive) available, and therefore needs a specialised skill.




The artistic tilers are the wall tilers. Wall tiles differ from the floor type because of their eye level location and hence ability to add to the décor of the wall. A great looking tile design can add that extra bit of character many people love in their kitchen.




Bathroom tilers are the most sort after of all tilers. You’d be doing well to find any bathroom without tilers on the floor, and in most cases the walls tiles too. However the experienced professional can offer extra detail that can make some much difference, as you can see in these images.
