Tiling in Kensington
Large format tiling with laser-set levels and minimal grout junctions. Foxter delivers tiling across every London borough for private clients, landlords, managing agents and commercial occupiers, with one site manager accountable for the whole programme.
Kensington's white-stucco terraces, garden squares and mansion blocks demand conservation-sensitive detailing, sash window restoration and lime-based repairs, with basement and internal reconfiguration doing most of the work of adding space.
That context shapes how we approach tiling here. Controlled parking zones operate through most of the day, skips need a licence and many streets have no rear access, so materials come in through the house on protected routes. We survey the property, confirm the consents that apply to W8 and issue a fixed price against a written scope, so the figure you sign is the figure you pay unless you change the brief.
Our indicative rate for tiling in West London is around £150 per m², reflecting a ×1.12 area factor against our London baseline. Use the instant quotation tool for a figure tailored to your size, specification and start date.

How the job runs
Survey
We assess the property, take measurements and identify the constraints that will govern cost and programme.
Specification
A written scope and material schedule so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
Fixed price
A line-by-line quotation with staged payments tied to milestones, never in advance of work done.
Preparation
Protection, strip-out, substrate preparation and any enabling works.
Installation
The tiling carried out by our directly employed trades under one site manager.
Completion
Testing and certification where required, snagging, clean and handover.
What good tiling work looks like
The visible finish is the last five per cent of a tiling project. What determines whether it lasts is the preparation underneath: correct substrate, correct fixings, correct tolerances and the right material for the exposure and the loading it will see.
We specify to manufacturer detail and to current British Standards, and we do not shortcut preparation to hit a price. Where a competing quote is materially cheaper it is almost always because preparation, waste disposal, making good or certification has been left out — ask for the written scope and compare line by line.
