Constructing a new building from scratch requires the services of a number of different contractors in order to carry out different parts of the work. At the very top of the hierarchy is the developer who will hire an architect to design the building. Then comes the main contractor and under him come all the subcontractors to carry out electrical installation, plumbing and heating, flooring, window installation, painting and decorating, carpeting, and more.

Installing tile flooring in the kitchen, bathroom, or even throughout your entire ground floor can seem like a great idea, but it’s also hard work. Some DIY tilers also make the mistake of thinking tiles can go straight down onto any old floor, without effective preparation.

Tiling is a respected skill that takes lots of practice to master. While some opt to tile their own floors, there are a few pitfalls and mistakes that you can make when not employing a professional tiler to ensure the job is completed to a high standard.

Ceramic tiles are still one of the most popular choices for UK homes, but are they right for your bathroom, kitchen?

Available in a vast range of styles and colours, they’re a great choice for an entire ground floor too, however, there are certainly a few pros and cons to first take into consideration before going with this flooring option.
