Tiler in Paddington.
Renovation tiling in Paddington — small wet areas, tight access and floors that have to line through an old cottage.
Tiling in Paddington.
Paddington is workers' cottages and Queenslanders on narrow blocks, packed tight along the ridges off Given and Latrobe Terrace. Almost every house here has been renovated at least once, and the ones that have not are queued up to be.
The rooms are small, which makes setout matter more, not less — in a two-metre bathroom every cut is visible and there is nowhere to hide a bad start point. Old cottages also move: floors are rarely level, walls are rarely plumb, and a large-format tile will tell you about both. Access is genuinely tight, so materials and timing get planned rather than assumed.
Tiling and waterproofing are done by the same crew, which is the part that decides whether a Paddington 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 Paddington, asked and answered.
Our bathroom is tiny. Does that make it easier or harder?
Harder, usually. In a small Paddington wet area every cut is visible and there is nowhere to hide a bad setout — the room is read in one glance. Small bathrooms take longer per square metre than big ones for exactly that reason. It is also why the setout gets done dry first.
The cottage floors are out of level. Can that be corrected?
Yes, and it generally has to be before tiling. An old Paddington cottage has settled in every direction, so the substrate gets corrected to a flat plane first. What we will discuss is how far to take it — chasing perfectly level can fight the rest of the house, so sometimes flat and consistent is the better outcome.
Can you do a kitchen splashback as well?
Yes, including herringbone and glass. A splashback is a small area where the setout does all the work — the pattern has to centre on the cooktop or the window, and the cuts at the ends have to balance. It is a half-day job that looks wrong forever if it is rushed.
