– Make good existing wall and floor substrates by taking off failed finishes where needed, filling cracks and hollows, and leaving a clean, even surface ready for tiling.

– Cut tiles on site so they finish neatly at corners, reveals, doorways and around pipes, wastes and fittings.

– Keep courses straight and joints consistent while tiles are being fixed, and adjust any piece that is out of line before the adhesive sets.

– Fill joints, wipe off surplus material and finish the surface so the tiling is clean and ready for use.

– Prepare wet-area substrates and install or work to the waterproofing system before tiles are fixed in bathrooms and other wet areas.

– Lay screeds or cement-based floor finishes where a tiled or similar hard floor build-up is required.
