Tilers in London: Renters vs Homeowners

If you’re renting…

You’ll usually need permission before hiring a tiler.

• Contact your landlord or property manager
• Agree in writing who’s paying
• Check if any changes need to be reverted when you move out

Some landlords may cover costs if the tiling is for damage repair or safety reasons.

If you’re a homeowner…

You're free to hire a tiler directly, but for big jobs (like bathroom renovations), it’s worth:

• Checking building regs if plumbing or electrics are involved
• Getting a written quote and work plan
• Requesting proof of insurance

If you’re in a leasehold property (e.g. a flat), check your lease for any restrictions.
