Checking and Preparing the Base
We check the floor for level, cracks, damp and dust, and repair or clean it so the tiles have a sound surface.
Floor Tile Installation in Dubai
Floors prepared, levelled and tiled flat with even joints
In Brief
Floor tile installation is laying tiles on a prepared, level surface with the right adhesive, even spacing and a clean grouted finish. Most failures, such as lifting, hollow tiles and cracked grout, come from poor preparation, so the work starts with checking and levelling the floor, not with the first tile.
Tiling looks like the easy part of a floor, but the result depends mostly on what is underneath. A floor that is uneven, dusty, damp or cracked will show through in the finished tiles: some lift, some sound hollow, and the lines of the grout wander. Large-format tiles, which are popular for living areas, need an especially flat surface, because they cannot hide small dips.
We check the base, repair and level it where needed, and plan the layout so cuts are balanced at the edges and not squeezed into a narrow strip at one side. Tiles are bedded in adhesive with the right trowel, spaced evenly, checked for level as the work goes on, then grouted and cleaned. The floor is kept clear until the adhesive and grout have cured. Our tiling service covers wall and floor work, and wet rooms need bathroom waterproofing before tiling. For later repairs, see tile replacement and repair.
When You Need This
Signs You May Need Floor Tile Installation

What We Do
What Floor Tile Installation Covers
Levelling
Uneven floors are levelled where needed, since tiles, especially large ones, will show any dips.
Layout Planning
We plan the layout so cut tiles sit sensibly at the edges and joints line up with doors and fixed features.
Laying With the Right Adhesive
Tiles are laid in a suitable adhesive with the correct trowel, so they are fully bedded and not hollow.
Spacing and Level Checks
Spacers and levelling checks are used throughout, not just at the end, so joints and levels stay consistent.
Grouting and Cleaning
Once the adhesive has set, joints are grouted and the tiles cleaned, and the floor is protected while it cures.

Good to Know
What Affects Time and Cost
Every property is different, so we confirm the price before any work starts. These are the things that most often change the time and cost.
- The area and the tile size and type
- Whether the old tiles must be removed and the base repaired or levelled
- The layout, such as diagonal or patterned, and the number of cuts
- Whether the floor is a wet area needing waterproofing first
- How much grout and finishing work is needed at edges, skirting and thresholds
