Wall tiling usually involves more detail than the square metres suggest. Corners, trims, sockets, windows, sanitaryware and changes in wall direction all feed into the setting-out plan, and KS Elite Tiling decides the most visible lines before any adhesive is mixed.
We fit ceramic, brick, mosaic, plain and slate tiles, across bathroom walls, kitchen splashbacks and jobs where old panelling comes off and tile goes on in its place. Each of those starts from a different background, and the background is what decides the preparation.
We start with the background and the layout
A tiled wall is only as good as what it is fixed to. We look for loose finishes, damaged boards, large deviations and recurring cracks, and we deal with them rather than covering them up. How much preparation that takes depends on the room, the tile and the state of the surface, so we price it once we have seen the wall.
We then set out where the full tiles and the cut tiles land. That accounts for eye-level features, edges, reveals and how the joints carry around a corner. With decorative or textured formats we work through the pattern and the shade variation as we fix, rather than opening boxes at random.
Materials and replacement work
Mosaic gives you fine detail but brings a lot of joints and needs an even background to look right, so we check the wall before recommending it. Brick tiling sets a different rhythm and often uses a staggered pattern. Slate brings natural variation with it, and we show you what that means before you approve the layout.
We take tiles off as part of a full refresh or as a focused repair. Pulling a tile can reveal background damage or old adhesive that changes what comes next, so our quote states what preparation is included and how we will handle anything we uncover once the wall is open.
Older walls in Croydon properties
Plenty of the properties we work in have walls that are not straight or square, especially where they have been altered over the years. That does not stop the wall looking right, but it does mean we measure and talk it through with you before we start. The tile format and the grout width both affect how much of the variation you end up seeing.
Send clear photographs of the full wall along with close-ups of anything that looks like a problem: bulges, cracks, patched areas or tiles that have already lifted. We would rather know about those before we quote than find them on the first morning.

Straight answers
Questions people ask before booking
Every project is different. These answers set expectations before the room and tiles are assessed.
What types of wall tile do you install?
Ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, mosaic, brick and slate are all fitted. Which one suits depends on the wall behind it and how much moisture and wear the room sees.
Can you tile over existing wall tiles?
That decision needs an on-site assessment. Existing tiles must be sound, secure and suitable, and the extra thickness can affect trims, fittings and edges. Removal may be the better option in some rooms.
Can you replace tiles after plumbing or electrical work?
Often, provided a close tile match is available and the background has been left suitable for repair. Photographs of the opened area and spare tiles help with the first assessment.
