Surface Preparation– The Foundation of Great Tiling

Tiles need the right foundation to bond correctly and stay in place for years. Our surface preparation services include:

Tile Removal and Replacement

Concrete Surface Levelling

A level floor is non-negotiable. We use high-performance levelling compounds to fix dips and slopes. Perfect for large floor tile installations.

Tile Substrate Prep

We prepare different substrates including concrete, cement board, and plywood. This means your tiles have a stable, secure base.

Moisture‑Resistant Primers

Used in bathrooms, kitchens, or anywhere with moisture, our primers protect against water damage and mould.

Water‑Resistant Backer Boards

For added strength and water resistance, we install backer boards in high-moisture areas like showers and wet rooms.

Thin‑Set Adhesive Removal

Old thin-set is tough. We’ve got the tools and techniques to remove it without ruining the surface underneath.

Surface Preparation Before Tiling

We always complete a final check—testing for flatness, dryness, and cleanliness. We won’t lay a single tile until the prep is perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're installing new tiles, surface preparation isn’t optional, it’s essential. Without a smooth, clean, and dry base, tiles can crack, lift, or come loose over time. Signs you need prep include:

  • Uneven or sloped floors
  • Residue from previous adhesives
  • Damp or stained surfaces
  • Flaking concrete or plaster

We always assess your existing surface and advise on the right preparation to ensure the best tile adhesion and longevity.

We use a range of professional-grade tools, including:

  • Oscillating multi-tools with carbide blades
  • Grout saws and scrapers
  • Angle grinders with dust guards
  • Industrial vacuum systems for clean-up

We’re equipped to handle everything from soft mastics to tough thin-set adhesives. Our goal is to leave a perfectly prepped surface with zero residue.

That depends on the size of the area, tile type, and conditions. As a general guide:

  • Small bathrooms: ½ to 1 day
  • Kitchens: 1 day
  • Large floors or commercial spaces: 2+ days

We always provide a time estimate during the initial consultation.

Yes, but it depends on how the tiles were originally installed and the materials involved. Our skilled team uses professional tools and techniques to:

  • Minimise damage to plasterboard or drywall
  • Avoid cracking or gouging floors
  • Reduce dust and debris with dust-extraction tools

In most cases, any small repairs needed afterward are included in our surface preparation service.

Yes. Leaving behind old tile adhesive can cause the new tiles to sit unevenly, shift over time, or crack under pressure. Removing it ensures:

  • Proper tile alignment
  • Better adhesive bonding
  • A longer-lasting and more attractive finish
