Tiler

Hexagonal terracotta, large-format porcelain stoneware, wood effect, wall tiles: we lay tiles the way they should be laid — starting with the substrate.

Our approach

The job is won

A tile that sounds hollow, a grout line that cracks, a large format that sits proud: in nine cases out of ten the cause is not the laying but the substrate. We strip back, level, prime and respect the drying times before a single tile goes down.

Then comes the setting out. The starting line, how the cuts are shared out, the direction of the light: those decisions are taken with a pencil, not as the work goes along. That is what avoids a sliver of a cut tile in the most visible corner of the room.

What we lay

  • Hexagonal terracotta and encaustic cement tiles
  • Large-format porcelain stoneware
  • Wood-effect tiling, floors and staircases
  • Wall tiles, plain or patterned
  • Natural stone, marble and travertine
  • Skirtings, stair nosings and trims
  • Levelling compound, primer and substrate preparation
  • Screeds and level corrections

What it looks like

Grout struck off, oak threshold fitted and the junction with the old floor cut to the line: the white terracotta dies into the original red octagon, with no trim.
Tiling
Large-format wood-effect porcelain stoneware, laid in a staggered bond. The grain changes from one board to the next so nothing repeats.
Tiling
One single piece per tread, matching riser and aluminium stair nosing — the staircase carries the floor on without a break.
Tiling
Floor laid, matching skirtings, grout tinted to the shade of the boards.

The boards are dry-laid before any adhesive goes down: that is when we decide where the cuts fall.

Let's talk it through

How we work

The detail

01

The setting out

We draw the layout before we lay it. A sliver of a cut tile in a visible corner spoils a whole floor — that is decided at the start, not at the end.

02

Levelling

Levelling clips on every joint. On large formats, half a millimetre of lippage shows up against the light.

03

The finishes

Stair nosings, corner trims, grout coloured right through: these are the details that make a tiled floor age well.

We work in Nice, across the Alpes-Maritimes and right along the French Riviera
