We often get asked similar questions when starting a project.

## Common Questions

How do I get a quote? +

Simply contact Wayne by calling, texting or submitting an online form. Wayne will organise a time to drop by or request pictures to start the quote process.

How much will it cost? +

There are lots of factors that will affect how much your tiling job will cost. These include the types of tiles, size of tiles and the size and layout of your space/room. The more details you can tell us - the more accurate the quote will be.

How soon do I need to contact you for a quote? +

As soon as you know what room or space you want tiled, and have an idea of the tile you want please get in touch. If you want it tiled in a specific pattern, it is always good to know that too! Basically, the more of an idea you have, the easier the quote process. If you are unsure, give Wayne a call and he can assist.

How many tiles do I need to buy? +

Once you have contacted Ives Tiling, Wayne will measure the area during the quote process. At this time, he will recommend how many tiles you need to purchase.

When do I need to buy the tiles? +

It’s a good idea to have a tile selected before Wayne comes out to measure and quote. However, generally, it is recommended that you do not purchase the tiles until you know how many you need.

Do I need to buy materials? +

Wayne will look after any material relating to the tiles. This includes glue, grout, angles and silicon.

Who picks the colours of the grout? +

You! If you are unsure of what colour will look the best, please chat to Wayne when he comes out to meet you and measure the space. He can show you colour examples so you can let him know what you want.

Can I tile over tiles? +

Sometimes yes. It is best to chat to Wayne if you are looking at tiling over tiles and he can let you know if it will be okay.
