How to choose well

1. Licensing first. Wet-area tiling must sit over sound waterproofing — good tilers check the substrate before laying.
2. Ask how they'll prep the screed and check for hollowness after laying — the pros will explain their process without being asked twice.
3. Reviews with specifics beat star counts. Look for reviews that mention your job type and how problems were handled — not just "good service".
4. Itemised quotes only. A lump-sum quote is where surprises hide. Line items let you compare fairly across companies.
5. Never pay fully upfront. Deposit, progressive payments, and a retention until the work is done and checked.
