Tiles
Compare intended use, texture, cleaning needs and the substrate before selecting a finish.
Flooring & tiling / MUMBAI
Flooring choices that work from room to room.
Review room use, existing flooring and the transitions to doors and adjacent spaces. Compare the finished installation, including preparation and edges, rather than the material price alone.

START WITH A CLEAR QUESTION
What turns a flooring material price into an installed-floor proposal?
Installed cost depends on area, material, preparation and edge details; the suitability of retaining an existing floor requires site assessment.
01
A room-use and finish discussion covering the areas proposed for flooring or tiling.
02
Assessment requirements for the existing surface, levels and any preparation needed.
03
Planning of layout direction, transitions, skirting and relevant edge details.
04
Clarification of material supply, laying, preparation, protection and disposal responsibilities.
THE CHOICES THAT SHAPE YOUR SCOPE
Decide the details.
Build the right brief.
01
Decide what can remain
Identify the rooms and surfaces proposed for replacement. The condition and suitability of retained flooring need assessment against the chosen installation system.
02
Review the room connections
Check how the proposed floor meets doors, skirting, cabinets and neighbouring rooms. Those transitions belong in the scope.
03
Make the layout part of the quantity
Discuss tile or plank format, pattern and visible joints. Ask for cutting and wastage allowances based on the proposed room layout.

FROM BRIEF TO HANDOVER
How the work comes together.
- Assess existing floor and levels.
- Review samples and room suitability.
- Measure areas, skirting and transitions.
- Coordinate removal or preparation and the selected installation system.
- Inspect junctions and agree cleaning/care guidance.
MAKE THE SCOPE VISIBLE
Understand the quantities.
List each room’s measured floor area, skirting length, thresholds, wastage assumptions and removal separately. Different tile sizes and laying patterns can change cutting and material allowances.
Agree the boundaries
Substrate repairs, waterproofing, door trimming, removal and debris handling must be explicit.

What affects the cost?
- Measured laying area, room geometry and the agreed allowance for cutting and wastage.
- Selected material, size, pattern and the installation system it requires.
- Existing surface condition, removal needs and assessed preparation or levelling.
- Skirting, thresholds, transitions, protection and disposal items listed in the scope.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Your next questions.
Can new flooring be laid over the old surface?
That depends on the selected system, existing condition and resulting levels. Have the installation requirements and site constraints assessed before assuming the old flooring can remain underneath.
Does the material price equal the installed cost?
No. Preparation, laying, cutting, wastage, skirting and other associated work may be separate. Compare the complete specified scope to understand the cost of the finished area.
How much extra material should I buy?
The appropriate allowance depends on the room geometry, tile or plank size and pattern. Ask for a project-specific quantity schedule rather than applying a universal percentage without checking the layout.
