Tile selection tips for Meldon Devon
Order tiles 10-15% more than calculated area to allow for wastage from cuts and breakages. Complex patterns need 15-20% extra. Order all tiles from same batch (batch numbers on boxes) as shade varies between batches.
Buy 5-10 extra tiles for future repairs. Tiles get discontinued quickly and exact matches are impossible years later. Store spares in garage or loft wrapped in cardboard.
Consider tiler's opinion on your tile choice. Very cheap tiles may chip easily, very large tiles may not suit your floor substrate, very dark tiles show every imperfection. Experienced tilers see what works.
When should you walk away?
If tiler won't provide written quote, cannot show examples of similar work, requests large deposit (over 20%), or quote is significantly cheaper than others without clear reason, find another tiler.
A good tiler is happy to explain their pricing, show references, provide written quote, and commit to timeline. Tiling is skilled work requiring precision - cheap quotes usually mean inexperienced tilers or hidden extras.
