FAQs
Tiling in Maidstone: FAQs
Do you provide tiling across all of Maidstone?
Yes, we cover the ME14, ME15 and ME16 postcode areas in full, including Allington, Barming, Loose, Penenden Heath, Tovil, Weavering, Bearsted.
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.
Does flood risk from the River Medway affect extensions in Maidstone?
For properties in flood risk areas, extension design may need to take flood resilience into account, and a flood risk assessment can be required as part of a planning application. We check the Environment Agency flood mapping for your property during feasibility.
