Yes — waterproofing (tanking) is essential before tiling any wet area in Portobello. Without it, water penetrates grout joints and reaches the substrate, causing structural damage and mould. We apply quality tanking systems to all wet areas before tiling and provide written guarantees against water ingress. We never tile over unprotected substrates in wet areas.

A standard bathroom tiling project in Portobello (walls and floor, approximately 15m²) takes 2–4 days including waterproofing, tiling and grouting. Larger bathrooms, complex patterns or natural stone installations take longer. We allow adequate time for adhesive and grout to cure before the bathroom is used — typically 24–48 hours after completion.

Yes — we regularly tile over underfloor heating systems in Portobello properties. The key is specifying the correct flexible adhesive and grout that can accommodate the thermal movement of UFH. Not all tiles are suitable for UFH — we advise on tile selection for UFH installations as standard and ensure all materials are correctly specified.
