Marble and Tile

Marble and Tile Installation

Tile is the finish people run their hand across and look at every day, so the layout, the substrate and the grout lines are what separate a good job from an expensive one. We install ceramic, porcelain, marble and natural stone on floors, walls, showers, stairs and feature areas, and we set out the pattern before we set the first tile.

Why Choose Us

Why Choose Best Valana

Set Out First

We plan the layout so cuts land where they are least visible and the pattern stays centred on the room.

Flat, Sound Substrate

Tile follows whatever is under it. Uneven substrate is corrected before anything is set, not hidden with extra mortar.

Stone Handled as Stone

Marble and natural stone need different setting material, different handling and sealing. We treat them accordingly.

Clean Detailing

Consistent joints, proper movement joints, mitred edges and trim that finishes the run properly.
