Tiler in Jindalee.

Tiling in Jindalee.

Jindalee is the oldest of the Centenary suburbs — largely 1970s brick homes on good blocks, bounded by the river and the motorway. Parts of the low-lying ground have flooded more than once, and that history is still visible in how houses down there have been rebuilt.

Alongside ordinary renovation work, ground-floor reinstatement comes up here more than in most suburbs: floors relaid, wet areas rebuilt, and substrates that need proper checking rather than assuming. On the 70s brick homes it is the familiar pair — a slab that needs levelling before large-format goes on it, and an original bathroom that has run its course.

Tiling and waterproofing are done by the same crew, which is the part that decides whether a Jindalee 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.
