Great work. Kris explained what he would do clearly and provided a competitive quote for the eork. He was able to start quickly and work days that accommodated my schedule and needs. I love the finished result and he explained how to care for it. Great workmanship - would hire him again.

Jozsef’s work ethic is impressive; arriving early and clearly takes pride in his work as he ploughs through to complete in one day. Amazing! I now have a beautiful looking living room floor. I would definitely recommend Jozsef and will be asking him to do more jobs for me and recommend him to family and friends. ????

We highly recommend this outstanding professional who went above and beyond to help us install carpet in four rooms and a kitchen. The service we received was nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, his attention to detail was impeccable, ensuring that every aspect of the carpet installation was perfect.

Cost of external tiling

The cost of external tiling varies depending on several factors, including the type of tiles used, the size and complexity of the project, and labour rates in your area. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what influences the overall cost of external tiling:

  1. Tile Material:
    • Porcelain Tiles: These are one of the most popular choices for outdoor tiling due to their durability and low water absorption. Porcelain tiles typically cost between £20 and £60 per square metre.
    • Natural Stone: If you prefer a more natural, premium look, materials like slate, granite, or travertine are excellent options. However, they can be more expensive, ranging from £30 to £100 per square metre.
    • Quarry Tiles: These are another durable, cost-effective option for outdoor floors, generally priced between £20 and £40 per square metre.
    • Ceramic Tiles: Although not as common for outdoor use due to their higher water absorption, ceramic tiles can be used in covered or less exposed areas and usually cost between £15 and £40 per square metre.
  2. Preparation Work:
    • External tiling projects may require additional groundwork to ensure a stable, level surface. Preparing the base, whether it’s laying a concrete slab, compacting gravel, or levelling an existing surface, can add £10 to £30 per square metre to the overall cost.
    • If you’re replacing existing tiles, removing the old tiles and preparing the surface for new ones could add an extra £20 to £40 per square metre, depending on the complexity of the removal process.
  3. Labour Costs:
    • Labour costs for professional tilers typically range from £30 to £60 per square metre. Complex patterns, intricate designs, or difficult-to-reach areas (like tiling on walls or steep slopes) may result in higher labour costs.
    • Some tradespeople may charge by the day, with rates ranging from £150 to £300 per day, depending on experience and location. Larger projects requiring more time will naturally increase the overall labour cost.

What are the best tiles to use outdoors?

The best tiles for outdoor use are durable, weather-resistant, and non-slip. Popular options include porcelain, natural stone (like slate or granite), and quarry tiles. Porcelain tiles are a top choice due to their strength and low water absorption rate, making them ideal for external conditions.

How long does external tiling take?

The time required for external tiling depends on the size and complexity of the project. For a standard patio or external floor, tiling can take between 2 to 5 days. More intricate designs or larger areas might require additional time for preparation and finishing.

Other external tiling FAQs

What base do I need for outdoor tiles?

A stable, level base is essential for outdoor tiles. Concrete slabs or a compacted gravel base are commonly used to ensure durability and prevent shifting.

Can I tile an exterior wall?

Yes, exterior walls can be tiled using weather-resistant tiles and the right adhesive to withstand outdoor conditions.

What are the disadvantages of outdoor tiles?

Outdoor tiles can be slippery when wet and may require more maintenance than other surfaces, especially in harsh climates.

Marcus and Jamie fitted a kitchen and floor for us last year. Marcus said after they were finally finished that it had been one of the most awkward and most problematic kitchens they had ever done. Not through any fault of theirs. Wrong parts delivered and endless new unforseen issues. All handled with patience & understanding. They stayed on the job until it was finished and we couldn't have been happier with their work. Genuinely cannot recommend them enough.

Alex visited me for a quote. One member of his team came on the same day and did the front garden quickly and efficiently.

My name it’s Cris. I am a person with many qualities in handyman.What a handyman means? A handyman, also known as a handyperson or handyworker, is a person skilled at a wide range of repairs, typically around the home. These tasks include trade skills, repair work, maintenance work, are both interior and exterior, and are sometimes described as "side work", "odd jobs" or "fix-up tasks". For me a handyman means the person who helps the people who are in need or not having the necessary training for that thing and at the same time the one who later gives a smile to the people's face. For this, please contact me in any need you have

Christian and his team were friendly, courteous, and did a great job at the quoted price with no surprises.

HEX360 was founded in 2015 by Craig Lewis with the solid foundation that a degree in construction management provides. Before launching HEX360, Craig’s former life saw him working at Princess Yachts, where he founded his skills and acquired his particular attention to detail – but if you’ve reached this page, you probably aren’t interested in hearing Craig’s life story… you’re really interested in finding out what makes HEX360 different to all the other construction companies out there. So read on and discover our difference. Working with most construction companies can feel a bit like finding your way in the dark – you just don’t know where to go to get the information you need. The stereotypical construction company that makes matters so confusing and complicated that everything they say goes over your head is, unfortunately, not just a myth. They’re out there, and they’re confusing clients as we speak. So, it’s no wonder that so many people put off their project or come to a grinding halt partway through – after all, it can all feel just too overwhelming. Luckily, HEX360 is here to change your perceptions and prove that not all construction companies are the same. We’re dedicated to working with you, not for you, and that means taking a collaborative approach right from the get-go. With our 8-step process, we’ll clearly outline every stage of your project so you won’t feel overwhelmed, and thanks to our use of in-house project management software, you’ll have complete transparency for every aspect of your project. We are committed to flexibility, accessibility, and approachability so your project can run smoothly, whether you’re updating your kitchen, renovating or extending your entire home or developing a large commercial property. You’re more than a number on a spreadsheet to us, and we never bite off more than we can chew. Our attention and efforts are solely dedicated towards you and your project during your time with us. Unlike with some construction companies, once we begin work on your project we don’t simply move on to our next. We provide industry leading account management during the full life cycle of the project, meaning you aren’t forgotten about once you sign on the dotted line.
