Why Kitchen Tiling Coordination Matters
Kitchen tiling in London involves precise timing with cabinet installation, worktop fitting, and plumbing.
Without proper coordination, tiles are fitted before cabinets, splashback heights are wrong, and grout lines don't align with cabinet edges.
What Our Tiling Project Management Handles:
Sequences tiling after cabinets fitted, before worktops templated
Coordinates splashback height so tiles align with cabinets
Ensures floor tiles laid before worktops, avoiding gaps
Schedules tilers so work flows without delays
Checks grout lines, seals, and alignment before sign-off
Proper kitchen tiling coordination means tiles aligned perfectly, no gaps, no remakes, and everything watertight.

Why Choose Kitchen Fitters London For Tiling
Our Kitchen Design Styles
A selection of styles we work with – not an exhaustive list.
What tiles do you supply and install?
We supply and install all kitchen tiles London projects need: metro, zellige, porcelain, ceramic, natural stone (marble, travertine, limestone), mosaic, patterned tiles. We source tiles from trusted partners, handle delivery, cutting, fitting, grouting, and sealing. You choose tiles; we manage supply and installation as part of your kitchen renovation.
How is kitchen tiling coordinated with other trades?
Kitchen tiling is sequenced after cabinets are fitted and before worktops are templated. This ensures splashback tiles align with cabinet edges, floor tiles are laid before worktops to avoid gaps, and grout lines don't clash with cabinet joins. Our project manager coordinates tilers with electricians, plumbers, cabinet fitters, and worktop specialists.
Do you handle tiling for small kitchen spaces?
Yes. We tile compact kitchens, galley layouts, flat kitchens across London. Tile layouts are planned to maximize visual space, minimise cuts in tight corners, and work with awkward dimensions common in London properties. Tiling services London projects include measuring, planning cuts, and fitting tiles in confined spaces.
Can you re-tile existing kitchens?
Yes. We can remove old tiles, prepare surfaces (plaster repair, waterproofing, leveling), and install new kitchen tiles. Re-tiling is coordinated with any plumbing or electrical updates needed. If you're keeping cabinets but want new splashbacks or floors, we handle tile removal and installation carefully.
How long does kitchen tiling take?
Splashback tiling typically takes 1–2 days depending on size and pattern complexity. Floor tiling takes 2–3 days including drying time. For full kitchen renovations, tiling is usually scheduled in week 2–3 after cabinets are fitted and before worktops are installed. Grout curing takes 24–48 hours before sealing.
