FAQs
Tiling in Guildford: FAQs
Do you provide tiling across all of Guildford?
Yes, we cover the GU1, GU2, GU3 and GU4 postcode areas in full, including Onslow Village, Merrow, Burpham, Stoughton, Westborough, Charlotteville, Shalford.
How do I know how much tile to order?
We measure the area and calculate quantity including an allowance for cuts and wastage, which varies by tile size and layout complexity — we confirm the figure once the design and layout are agreed.
Can you tile over existing tiles?
Sometimes, if the existing tiling is sound, flat and well-bonded, but it's not always advisable — it adds height that can affect door clearances and fittings, and any hidden problem with the old tiling is masked rather than fixed. We assess this on survey.
Are there conservation areas across Guildford?
Yes, several, including the historic town centre and parts of some residential neighbourhoods. We check the position for your specific address as part of the feasibility assessment.
