Conservatory floor tiling
Conservatory floor tiling in Sheffield & Barnsley
A conservatory floor is a long, open space where crooked lines show. I set it out from the centre before a single tile is fixed, so it looks straight from the moment you step in from the house.

A conservatory floor that lines up with the house
A conservatory floor is usually the first thing you see from the house, and it's often a long room where any wandering line is obvious. That makes setting out the most important part of the job.
Before a tile is fixed, I lay the floor out from a centre line, check where it finishes at the walls and the doorway, and adjust until the cuts are balanced. Then it goes down on a properly prepared base, whether you're in Penistone, Oxspring or Sheffield.

Getting the floor right
What makes a conservatory floor work
A conservatory takes foot traffic from the house and the garden, and it's on show from both. These are the things I focus on.
-
Lines that run from the house
I plan the layout around the door into the house, so the floor looks straight as you walk in.
-
Balanced cuts along every wall
Cuts are planned to be even on both sides of the room, not a full tile at one end and a sliver at the other.
-
A base that stays put
Over timber, backer board is bedded in adhesive and screwed down so the floor can't move under the tiles.
-
The house protected
Dust sheets and plastic go down in the rooms next to the conservatory, and I tidy up every day.
Floor preparation
Preparing a conservatory floor
Conservatory floors vary a lot, so I check yours at the site visit before quoting.
Old tiles are taken up rather than tiled over, so the new floor goes onto a surface I've seen.
Timber floors get cement backer board, bedded in tile adhesive and screwed down. It's the method I use on every timber floor, because it's the one that stops tiles working loose.
Anything I can only judge once the old floor is up goes on your quote as a clear caveat.

Had our new kitchen tiled - a superb job by Rich - Professional and reliable. Attention to detail was incredible too. Top bloke - can't recommend highly enough!

Rich came to see us on 3 occasions, prior to starting to make sure exactly what we required, to measure up, advise on the number of tiles required and the colour of grout required. A 5 day expected project only took 4 because of the long hours Rich worked. He actually offered to only charge for 4 days, but I would not hear of it because of the expertise and professional of the work carried out. He only completed in 4 because of the long daily hours he had been working. There are pictures of our kitchen on the site and you will agree, it looks brilliant. I rated the work 5 out of 5 and I am pleased to take up his offer of coming to mop the floor once a week. !!!!! Our house was left spotless upon completion of the job, thanks again Rich,

He came over the day after the initial enquiry and provided a quote I was happy with, and discussed timescale and materials needed. Rich was able to purchase grout, adhesive etc on my behalf which was great. The evening before the job started he visited to do a final survey and discuss options. For the job itself Rich was punctual, efficient and generally brilliant to work with - problem solving along the way with regular photo and video updates along the way. Really impressed with the service and finished results - had lots of compliments! Highly recommend.

Conservatory FAQs
Conservatory tiling questions
Can you tile a conservatory with a timber floor?
Yes. I lay cement backer board bedded in tile adhesive and screwed into the floor first, so the base is rigid before the tiles go down.
Can you take up my old conservatory tiles?
Yes. I take old tiles up rather than tiling over them, and prepare the floor underneath.
How much does it cost to tile a conservatory?
It depends on the floor area, the tile size, the shape of the room and what the floor needs before tiling. Your itemised quote lists every material with a link to the product, plus labour and start and finish dates.
Will the floor line up with the door to the house?
That's what the setting out is for. I plan the layout around the door into the house so the lines look straight as you walk through. If you want the floor to follow on from the next room, tell me at the site visit.
Are large tiles a good idea in a conservatory?
They can be, and the choice is yours. In an awkward shape with lots of cuts, very large tiles add time and cost, so I'll give you an honest view at the site visit.
