Tiler in Madeira: floor and wall tiling done right

What this covers

A tiler is a professional who lays ceramic, porcelain, mosaic and stone on floors, walls and stairs. The work covers preparing and levelling the base, waterproofing wet areas, cutting tiles, setting out the pattern and joints, and grouting at the end. In Madeiran properties with old or uneven floors, base preparation often takes as much work as the tiling itself.

What people ask for most

• Tile a bathroom from floor to ceiling
• Lay porcelain tiles across a living room
• Waterproof and tile a shower area
• Replace cracked and stained grout
• Tile an outdoor staircase
• Fit mosaic to a kitchen splashback
• Level a floor before tiling
• Clad a balcony wall in stone

Timing and emergencies

Tiling needs waiting time and should not be rushed. Adhesive and grout have to cure before the surface is walked on or wetted, and pushing that stage is what opens joints later. Allow for supply times as well: specific tiles ordered from the mainland can take a while, so confirm availability before booking the work.

How to choose well

• Ask how they prepare the base and whether levelling is inside the price
• Confirm that showers and terraces are waterproofed before any tile goes on
• Agree the set-out, the joint width and the grout colour before work starts
• Ask for photos of corners, edges and skirtings from previous jobs
