Tiler in Bardon.
Tiling and stone work on Bardon's steep blocks — split levels, retaining faces and character renovations.
Tiling in Bardon.
Bardon runs up the eastern side of Mount Coot-tha, and almost nothing in it is flat. Steep, narrow blocks, split-level houses, decks on posts and a lot of character homes that have been extended down the hill rather than out across it.
Slope drives the work. External stairs, landings and ramps get tiled as often as internal floors, and they all have to be laid to fall and detailed to handrails. Retaining walls are everywhere, which is where the dry-stack stone cladding gets used. Access is the other Bardon factor — tight streets and long carries, worth knowing before anyone quotes a pallet of large-format.
Tiling and waterproofing are done by the same crew, which is the part that decides whether a Bardon wet area is still sound in ten years. Measures and written quotes cost nothing — call 0405 508 730 or send the job through and we will come and look at it.

Questions
Tiling in Bardon, asked and answered.
Can you tile external stairs and landings on a steep block?
Yes, and Bardon is full of them. External stairs need fall away from the building, a membrane under the tile rather than just a sealer on top, and a non-slip tile rated for outdoor use. The failure we get called to fix is almost always water sitting on a flat tread and getting behind the nosing — so the falls get formed first and everything else follows from that.
Can you clad a retaining wall or pier in stone?
That is one of our regular jobs on the Bardon slopes. Dry-stack stone on a retaining face needs a substrate that can carry the weight and drainage behind it that actually goes somewhere — stone is heavy and a wall holding water behind it will eventually push the cladding off. We check what the wall is before quoting a finish for it.
Our house is split level. Can the floors line through?
Usually, yes, with the thresholds detailed properly. On a split level the tile has to change plane somewhere, and the honest answer is that it looks best when that change is deliberate — a defined threshold at the step — rather than a floor that tries to run through and ends up out of level at one end. We set the levels across the whole floor before starting.
