I do a lot of work in Hale Barns — large-format porcelain floors, bathroom installations, and open-plan extensions tend to come up regularly. Most jobs need proper levelling work before the tiling starts. That's where most of the effort goes, and it's what makes the finish look right and last properly.
Two recent Hale Barns projects show this well: the large-format epoxy grout floor — a full ground floor installation with premium epoxy grout, mechanical levelling, and tiled skirting throughout — and the new extension bathroom, where large-format porcelain was installed wall-to-ceiling with a flush tiled access hatch integrated cleanly into the tile grid.

View case studyFrequently Asked Questions
Do you prepare floors before large-format tiling?
Always. Large-format tiles make every imperfection in the floor visible — and feel them too. I check for level, deflection, and moisture. Where needed, self-levelling compound is applied and fully cured before any tile goes down.
How much does large-format floor tiling cost in Hale Barns?
It depends on the area, tile size, and how much floor preparation is needed. I provide a clear, itemised quote after visiting — no estimates over the phone for large projects.
What grout do you use for premium floors?
I recommend epoxy grout as a premium upgrade option for maximum durability and stain resistance, particularly for high-traffic areas and wet zones. It's significantly more durable than cement grout. For standard installations, quality cement grout is perfectly suitable.
Are you insured and accredited?
Yes. I'm a Member of The Tile Association and carry full public liability insurance. Certificates available on request.
Why Large-Format Tiles Need More Preparation
Fewer Grout Lines
Bigger tiles mean fewer joints — so the floor looks cleaner and is easier to maintain.
The Floor Has to Be Flat First
Large tiles show every variation in the substrate. Self-levelling compound is almost always needed — I check the floor before committing to anything.
Levelling Clips Are Not Optional
Mechanical levelling clips hold adjacent tiles at the same height while the adhesive sets. Without them, you get lippage — and on polished porcelain, that's very visible.
Epoxy Grout as a Premium Upgrade
Cement grout is suitable for most installations. However, epoxy grout is available as a premium upgrade for maximum durability and stain resistance — ideal for high-traffic floors or areas with moisture exposure.
