Kitchen tiling and splashbacksin Deptford that look sharpand clean up easily

Metro and brick-bond tiles give a classic look. Large-format porcelain or stone slabs create a seamless finish with fewer joints. Mosaics and patterned tiles make a feature behind the hob.

Porcelain is a practical choice for kitchen floors because it's dense, hard-wearing and resists stains. Natural stone suits period homes but needs sealing. Underfloor heating can be added under tiled kitchen floors.

In open-plan layouts, the same floor tile often runs from kitchen into dining and living areas, which needs careful setting-out across the whole space.

Commercial kitchens need surfaces suited to heavy cleaning and hygiene. We tile kitchens across London and Surrey, including Kensington, Marylebone, Herne Hill, Ealing and Cobham.

No two projects are priced the same, which is why we don't publish fixed prices. The main factors are the size of the splashback or floor, the tile type and format, the number of cuts around sockets, windows and units, and whether floor tiling happens before or after units are fitted. The condition of what's already there matters too: a sound, flat surface is quicker to work on than one that needs repairing or rebuilding first.

The free quote visit is where these factors become clear. Emanuele will explain what's driving the price, flag anything that could change it once work starts, and give you a written quote so you can compare like for like. Payments are then staged at 30% to book, 35% at halfway and 35% on completion, so your money follows the progress you can see.

Splashbacks are one of the last jobs in a kitchen fit, after units, worktops and appliances are in. Floors are best tiled before base units go in, or at least under where appliances will stand. If you're working with a separate kitchen company, we'll coordinate timing so the tiling isn't rushed and cuts around worktops and sockets are precise.

Sockets and switches often need to be moved or fitted with deeper back boxes to sit flush with the tiles. Planning this in advance avoids awkward gaps and covers that don't sit flat.

If you cook often, glazed porcelain or ceramic behind the hob is easiest to keep clean. Natural stone and handmade tiles have character but need sealing and more care near heat and grease. Fewer grout lines mean less to clean, which is why larger formats are popular behind hobs and sinks.
